I went to visit my daughter’s family in Virginia.  There was a golf course nearby.
I saw lots of fish.  My granddaughters wanted me to take them fishing.  Using a 
couple of bamboo poles and some worms we caught as many fish as you could want. 
No, we didn’t eat any.  I was forewarned that there was lots of chemicals in the water.
I wonder what happens to all the insects that come to drink the water, including bees.
I guess it bioaccumulates in the fish.
