Mars (AP) June 8, 3256 - First successful harvesting of slime ocean on earth reported, for transport back to Mars, as fuel source. Other than cockroaches, eels, and European swallows, very little life noted [sic] first shipment of eels arive on Mars in a week. Planet eagerly awaits. Has been centuries since we've had real sushi.
I think, and I'm not sure, a local boy (or girl, it didn't say) had his fifteen minutes of fame! He died, but was going to anyway! I've heard they were lovingly cared for, HAVE to be shipped happy and alive, now it all makes sense!

"When the eel's in your rear After you've had too much beer. That's a moray" - best comment on huffpo, wish I was that funny.
Just remember boys and girls, insert TAIL FIRST.
Some people will eat (yea, right) anything...google "EEL GIRL"...I dare you.
I noted the article made no mention of the use of fossil fuels as the source of Ocean Acidification.
God forbid anything negative be said about burning fossil fuels. People might think twice about buying a gas/diesel vehicle.
10:50 - 30 year old bicycles - built back when the frames didn't fall apart or cost $3,000 - modified to run on an electric motor, built by myself, that doesn't cost $3,000, charged by solar panels...only way to go. Just making a Nissan Leaf, the people and infrastructure around a car factory...all that growth...all those babies, all those happy families....jobs....jobs...jobs.....YEEEE HAAAA....and all those greenies in the US buying a new Prius year after year that run on all that super clean electricity that just grows on bushes. Heartwarming. Wish I was a herron that lived in a ph adjusted marsh next to a Nissan Leaf plant. Oh, the life.
Gosh, a State Blue Ribbon Panel.
I took acid at Woodstock, maaaaan.
From reading that article, in todays' PDN, it sounds like we're in trouble. If the acidification we're experiencing came from CO2 emissions from 40 years ago, and is already causing 80% death to young oysters here, the next couple of decades should be REAL interesting.
Maybe Anon 12:21 can write some cleverly sarcastic comment to dismiss any concerns we should have.
Why SHOULD we do anything to make the world a better place for our children, when we can buy that big V8 we've always wanted, now?! Jobs building oil pipelines will pay for those wonderful things we can buy today.
Let our children sort it out for themselves, we DESERVE to, NO, we have the RIGHT to buy what ever we want.
Now is the time for the Port of Port Angeles and the City Council to invest heavily in attracting fish and shell fish industries.
Oh to hell with it, Smokestack Sally and I are going fishing. If she ever shows up with five gallons of gas for my boat.
Funny comments at the PDN at the review of the new "eatery" in Sequim. It does appear dismal.
And the caption at the pic - "Patron line bar..." DUR!
That spellcheck thingy, must have killed what, two, three jobs? And your integrity?
You shouldn't be paying other people to prepare food (or coffee) for you unless you are free of debt.
Young oysters are dying and Margaret Thatcher is dead.
I'm cryin'!
I wasn't too surprised when I saw the comment on the PDN site from the guy saying we should all just ignore what the scientists are warning us about, concerning ocean acidification.
The article spoke about the pterapods being wiped out by the increasing acidification of the ocean, and said that would have negative impacts on the "food chain". It failed to mention that 50% of the food for young salmon are those very pterapods.
But, in Port Angeles, the reaction is to put fingers in ears, and say we should ignore what we don't want to hear about.
That will really help.
Who was Margaret Thatcher? Somebody I should know? Did she do something important in Port Angeles, or something?
Yeup. Sure will.
Wasn't Max representing Port Angeles at Maggie's funeral that was held in Button?
Let's spend millions on salmon habitat restoration projects, while the salmon starve to death out in the oceans because of ocean acidification.
Who needs nature, anyways.
