The Littles have started their Christmas wish list.

(They’re nondenominational but into gifts and optimistic they’ll still be alive come the end of December.)

At the top of the list: the iFish from Hasbro for $39.99 on Amazon.com. The latest iPod accessory, it’s an 8.5-inch fish that acts as a speaker, changes color and flops about. In addition, according to the Web site: “iFish has audio, light and touch sensors and so (it) responds, physically and emotionally, to all kinds of sensory stimulation.”

Little Barbara, Chandler, Pat and John emote all over the place whenever you tap the tank. They can’t wait for the electric company.

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. To read about the project, or watch the govfish cam, visit sunjournal.com
