The Fat of the Land.


  We spotted Mackerel by watching sardine schools on the surface of the water.  They are voracious predators, who are eaten by bigger predators a step up the food chain.  Including the pesky human.  Very handsome 9 inch fish.
  I'm trying to think of something, besides pecans, that I walk around eating right off the landscape.  Lots of deer, of course, but that requires a little doing.  In Maine we munched beach grass, clams, lobsters, and Mackeral with minimal processing and effort.  Very direct and we hardly scratched the surface.
  Eyed a lot of colorful mushrooms on the trail.  I know zip about mushrooms, but I ought to.
