@MSidKelly "Jazz From Hell" was a Zappa album, but the title track was never made part of his setlist (except once).

Hopefully he hasn't changed his tune.

@jenelaina That's a cool little video about Hamtramck's history. I'm glad they are thinking about the current population. When I visited a school there, I was surprised at the rich diversity. I think the only Poles left might be the foul poles at the ballpark.

Many Michiganders retire in Florida. This short, beautiful video shows the connection between the two states – water – and a common concern. #invasivespecies

The weather loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) can breathe air outside of water and can grow up to a foot long. Native to east Asia, this invasive species has been reported in 10 states during the past decade.

[Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health @Bugwood]

The weather loach, an invasive fish, was recently discovered in Georgia, though it has been previously found in several other states. https://t.co/cbdr96dkRq If you think you've found this fish, or another invasive species, report it to #EDDMapS! https://t.co/5DOZpmUv29
