Ah, well to me at least, a 'fingerling' is the size of a finger.  What you
reference of 1" is well understood by me for a fish as well but others may
not be used to that.  In Japan such 1inch or so fish are dried and called
'niboshe'.  I love them but many here have never seen them or if they have,
have not tried them.  Not generally seen in USA markets (specialty store
stuff).

I found a robin egg shell last evening.  At least, I am pretty sure that's
what the blue shells are.  Don says he thinks Oreoles also have blue shells
so might have been one of them.

Virginia is the cardinal state I think (state bird, our tree is the dogwood).
We got lots of both here.

Today hit something like 35C but i don't have an exact temp.  Don noted the
thermometer at 95F at one point.  A little dry for the season but not by much.

It will get hot almost like Sasebo here, but not for as long.
