Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.
And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Suckers live in any kind of water, from fast-flowing streams to large lakes. They vacuum up invertebrates from lake and stream beds.
Redhorse Suckers are similar, but sport colorful fins, like some kind of tropical aquarium fish.
Freshwater gamefish such as trout and bass may not be taken by spear by divers. However, in some places, it may be legal to spearfish for carp, catfish, suckers, and other "rough" fishes - check local regulations.
