The Littles are tentatively scheduled to make their West Coast debut today.

Los Angeles Times reporter Steve Hymon, the inventor of the original fish cam using water from the Los Angeles River, sent a note last week indicating he’d like to give our fish a “shout out” in his Monday political column. (It’s called Local Government Q&A. He uses the space asking himself questions, then answering them.)

Little Pat, John, Barbara and Chandler spent the weekend preening and hoping they wouldn’t be pre-empted by something more pressing, like an earthquake.

To highlight water-quality issues with the Androscoggin River, the Sun Journal plunked five goldfish in a tank of water from the Andy and named them after the candidates for governor – the people with the power to make change.
