Yes, lobstah. I'm headed Down East in June for a lobstah fest.

Ayuh, bin to Maine!

I also need another Bumpah Stickah for the Cah.

And meet up with Twigeatah.

Three good enough reasons to go to Maine.

The scenery and things to do are just sidelights.

Mary Tyler Moore is against cooking lobster. She also paid for the lawyer for a man that approached that blonde news woman, I foget her name, that wanted the Perigrin falcons removed from her bldg that Mary Tyler Moore was in too. They had a nest on a ledge on her bldg. Oh yeah, it was Paul Zahn. The man approached Zahn on the street and she had him arrested for talking to her about the falcons. She said he was dangerous.

Last I heard, the board committee for the bldg was letting the birds come back to nest. What they had done was take down these pointy things that keep pigeons from roosting, but what it did was hold leaves, twigs etc in place for the falcons to build a nest. They have nested there for years and a documentary was done on them. How did this bldg. committee board think they could get away with kicking out the falcons without public outrage.

Evwer see footage of those thermal leak thingys(what the heck are they called anyway?) at the bottom of the ocean? It's spewing out boiling water and all sorts of crustations are clamoring over eachother to get in it.

let us not forget natural oil seeps in the ocean floor ...

http://www.mms.gov/omm/pacific/enviro/seeps2.htm

Most beachgoers are unaware that the tar they see washed up on the sand comes from a natural source of oil -- seeping up through cracks in the rock and sediment below the ocean floor. Yet, the existence of natural marine oil and gas seeps has been known since prehistoric times. In California, the earliest written records of the European explorers (c.1500) document the widespread nature of seeps in the coastal region. In the late 1800's, studies of the marine seeps were initiated in an effort to locate commercial sources of oil and gas. Since then, more than 2,000 active submarine seeps have been mapped along the California coast.

...

One of the most intensively studied seepage area lies off Coal Oil Point, in Santa Barbara County. Seeps in this area release an estimated 11 to 160 barrels (450 to 6,700 gallons) of oil per day, along with a large volume of natural gas. At Mobil’s (formerly ARCO’s) innovative Coal Oil Point sea floor containment project (a large concrete structure placed over a large seep on the seafloor), over 1 million cubic feet of natural gas is collected each day.

That may be true Hyway, unless there is an oil shipping lane nearby (and there usually is).

Those thermal vents are called smokers. They emit a host of compounds that are toxic for most life on Earth, but creatures have evolved to used those otherwise toxic compounds as food. Whodda thunk it?

So you get tube worms, shrimp that can exist in this toxic soup, and other critters that likewise can exist in that environment. Put them into what we know as clean water and they die.

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
He's in a giant clam

Down, down...

Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'

Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Mussels flexin'
Flippers flippin'

Down, down...

Let's rock!

Boys in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'

Twistin' round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun

Put on your noseguard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter

Here comes a stringray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that pirahna
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!

Oh, i wasn't trying to say that it is a good thing to have oil spills. I just read the post about the steam vents on the ocean floor and remembered the oil seeps that also litter the ocean floor. I wouldn't want to eat any of those oil fed shrimp.

This is the link in the NY Post about those perigrin falcons that were tossed out of their nest. It turns out the newscaster, Paula Zahn's husband was one of the board of directors that had the birds kicked out.

The have returned to next. If you can get this link, it will show the perigrin falcon and it's nest on the ledge of a NYC apt. bldg. ledge.
