A marathon of a walk.... halfway, anyway.

This Sunday I'll be leading a group on a 13-1/2 mile walk from North Kansas City to Prairie Village. The walk starts at 9am and will take about 4 hours. We'll be having a picnic lunch at the end of the walk.

There's time for a few more people to sign up for this free walk, just hop by kctourwalk.com for details and the online registration form.

This walk will be webcast live at livewalking.com if you'd like to follow our progress.

What killed my fish?

deadfish.jpg I have an established 30-gallon freshwater tank at home... it's been up and running fine for 5 years now.

About 10 days ago I added 4 platies to the tank. The next day one died, but everyone else seemed fine.

Yesterday one of my older fish died, but everyone else seemed fine.

Then, last night, every single fish in my tank died! This includes the 3 remaining new fish plus the 2 remaining old fish.

There were no signs of anything wrong with any of them yesterday, and today they are all dead. The temperature is right, aeration and filtration are good.

All of the dead fish were covered in white fuzz this morning, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it or if that's just natural decomposition. There was nothing on any of the fish yesterday.

Anyone have any ideas what could kill so many fish so quickly without any symptoms beforehand?

Pictures from The Longest Walk in Downtown KC

See my previous post if you don't know what this is about. :)

After their camp was pretty much trashed by last night's storms, the Longest Walk walkers got a very delayed start this morning. But they finally reached the City Market around 11:10 and after several speeches and a welcome by the Mayor, they continued south through downtown KC before turning east towards Independence.

Tomorrow they will continue east along 40 Hwy through Independence, Blue Springs, and Grain Valley.

Here's a few pictures from today (click any to see larger):
