Somehow, by a person or by a connected stream, I now have a NP in my pond. He's about 30-35" long. I've seen him twice.

I am unsure what I would do if I caught him, meaning take him out or leave him.

I think I'd leave him though.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
