Darn tootin'! When I was snorkeling with Casper last year, in TN's Little
River, I placed my hand palm down on the stream bottom and a curious male
tangerine darter swam onto it and just sat there! I pulled my face (mask) to
within inches of his head and we admired each other. What a glorious
creature!
