My cousin, Jeb, sent this picture out to the family. He is living on Little Cayman Island as a fishing guide. He has his own boat and takes tourists out deep sea fishing. Needless to say, life is good for Jeb! He sends a picture of the week every week of particularly big or neat fish. This week he emailed this picture with the subject "Little Cayman Swine Flu Update" with the caption, "It's getting bad down here....time to head home." I found it hilarious and told him he should use this picture for his Christmas card. The mask on the fishes face is so funny. Apparently not everyone got the joke and emailed him back that he needs to be careful. :) I do think the picture is awesome. The color of the fish (which is a Dolphin fish/aka Mahi Mahi) goes so well with his shirt and you can't beat the color of the water down there. Last year Jason and I looked into going down to visit him but the plane tickets were outrageous. So we ended up going to Vegas. However, after you count up the money we lost gambling it would have been about the same to have flown to Little Cayman. Wish we would have, it looks beautiful there.
Okay, now not to give everyone nightmares but here is a picture he sent the other week. These fish, which are called Alantic Scombrops, live 1400 feet at the bottom of the sea. I'm not surprised either, I too would stay that far down if I looked like this. Look at the one that is laying on the pier on the left hand side. His eye is not photo-shopped either. Holy cow are they ugly or what! Jeb says they taste good. I think I'll take his word for it. Jeb, we really enjoy getting your pictures each week. Keep them coming!
