Stories We Might Get To Before The End Of The Day, Part 6 -- August 22, 2021

Salmon. A very concerning story: declining salmon population threatens fishing tourism in Pacific Northwest. In The WSJ. Obviously Sarah Trent is trying to take our minds off Antifa.  I have yet to hear of any tourist forsaking Portland because of the declining salmon population, but lots of tourists avoiding Portland for other reasons.

Runs: speaking of salmon runs, Sha'Carri Richardson finishes last -- ninth in a field nine -- in showdown with Tokyo Olympics medalists. Defiant to the end. Link here. My hunch: her endorsements are coming to an end. Even Avis, who always finishes second, can't fit her into their rotation.

  1. Private fishing at mouth of Columbia River, "Buoy 10 season" and charter fishing from coastal towns are affected greatly by diminished salmon runs.
