Judges in California’s Third District Court of Appeal
ruled in late May that the bumblebee can legally fall
within the definition of a fish when it comes to the
definition of endangered species. “Although the term
fish is colloquially and commonly understood to refer
to aquatic species, the term of art employed by the
Legislature in the definition of fish in section 45 is not
so limited,” the trio of judges wrote.

slice of lime in an iced-down glass—

I think the stroke from a few years back, must have taken control and no allowing to comprehend. Bird, my brain could maybe accept. Fish just does not compute. I’m heading to the ER to get a cranium adjustment.

I have never seen a bumblebee “rise” to eat a trout. But, I have seen trout rise to eat a bumblebee. Confusion reigns.
