Where is ash meadows? Are cat tails invasive there? What a strange concept :-)
Shoulda saved all those mollies, convicts and crayfish for me.. I
would have found room.. somewhere.. well maybe not. Seems like
wherever this is, convicts are fairly well established.. another
rather foreign concept to me.
