Alaska cancels snow crab season, threatening key economic driver

 

This is a farm pond. Where I am standing taking the picture, I should be in waist deep water. On the far end is the dam, and it's about 5 feet. In February or March (can't remember), water was flowing over the dam at the spillway in the top right to the point I spent two days picking up hundreds of fish and putting them back in the water. No cattle or other livestock have access to this pond. This is just from a lack of rain this summer.

 

Damn

 

I'M SURE IT'S NOTHING

Effin' morons.

 

The real morons are the ones at the National Gallery who, faced with a history of defacings of paintings in Europe over DECADES, failed to shield the work with at least a thin see-thru sheet of Saran Wrap or something.

But I'm sure Lloyd's of London is on the case with a policy, so all is good.

 

Prosecutor Ola Oyedepo said the pair didn’t harm the oil painting, which was covered by a glass protective case, but damage was caused to the frame.

 

If you like crab legs, you'd better get them now.

Westphal says they’re not totally sure what caused the snow crab collapse, but they suspect warmer ocean conditions caused by climate change may be partly to blame.

 

I don’t know if this is a thing outside the Deep South, but the last 3-4 years or so a bunch of sketchy looking look-alike crab restaurants have been taking over failed sit-down chain restaurant locations in past their prime suburban locations. A bunch of derivative names like Juicy Crab, Crab King, Cajun Crabs, etc., so that you can’t tell who came up with it first and who is a second-level parasite. All of them look like they are marketing to people who would find Red Lobster too fancy.

 

I love those big Myrtle Beach-area buffet restaurants whose advertisements fill up the local travel mags and are dominated by images of crab legs.
