Surfboards and Salmon

Yesterday, a couple of my collegues and I were out for a quick site visit on the Duwamish River in Tukwila (just south of Seattle). The salmon are running and we saw many fish jumping as they made their way up the river. We even saw one of the amateur anglers who was fishing under the overpass walk away with a huge specimen - it must have been about two feet long and probably 20+ lbs. I also learned something new. At least among Washington engineers and environmental types, "surfboard" is a colloquial term that refers to the Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB). Toto, I don't think we're in San Diego anymore!
