When I first got news that the first few trout eggs hatched at White Mountain Elementary School in Ruidoso, I was very excited that the project was coming to fruition. The teacher told me: “We have Alvin!!”
I think she meant to say they had “alevin,” which is the word for newly hatched trout or salmon. But I though it sounded cool to say that the kids had named one of the first fish “Alvin,” so I passed that along as fact.
I offer my apologies for the scrambling of words, but I’m glad to announce that all but maybe two of the 35 eggs have hatched and will soon be transferred from their nesting baskets into the large 55 gallon aquarium.
I’ll keep everyone posted as the “Trout in the Classroom” project moves forward.

And on another important note, be sure to watch for news of the dramatic moment when Chester, our Goldendoodle picks the winner of the Super Bowl. We toss him two squeaky balls, each one in the color of the two teams competing, and the one he picks will be the winner.
So far in the last three years, he hasn’t picked the winning team. So if you’re a betting person, I’d put your money on the team that Chester doesn’t pick.
But since both teams’ colors are primarily red this year, he might actually make the right pick this time.
