Default A Realtor Fish Story

just had to post this! this afternoon my cousin and i were being shown homes by Villages Properties realtor Tony Piccione...while driving along buena vista his keen young eyes spotted a fish flopping on the grass median! he actually turned the car around, took a paper towel from his car and rescued the fish....we drove quickly to the nearest pond and he ran down to get the fish into the life saving water. it swam away! we all felt so happy that the fish had been saved by Tony's kind and quick action! someone must have been driving home in their golf cart after fishing and lost the fish???? it is a mystery but it was quite an occurrence!

Yes, that happens frequently in MI at our condo, which has Lake Michigan on one side and Muskegon Lake on the other, plus a lagoon. Birds dive-bomb and catch fish, fly off, but then they sometimes can't hold on to them.

We find dead ones in the dune grass a lot. Or rather, the dog does, and then it's a fight to get the mummified things out of his mouth.

You must live in Harbor Town. We live on the North end of Muskegon hope to be Snow birds next year.

We do. Been there since 1997. We could start a Muskegon Club consisting of four people!

Or you can join the West Michigan Shoreliners Club.
You will have to bring 100 feet of shore line to the first meeting.

Diane, Cha, etc, what a great fish story!
In November, I stopped traffic on BV to rescue a dizzy anhinga (bird) that dropped out of the sky onto the street. With the protection of the vehicle from traffic it had time to regain its senses and fly off. I wondered if it had been hit by a golf ball!

The absolute last time my husband played golf was a Westinghouse charity event at a country club in Pittsburgh. He killed a goose. The next year they let him drive the beer cart.
