get yer ya yas out

Dear readers,

so I heard there was a shark sighting at the Venoco/Casitas Pier in Carp...by the bluffs..by the seal rookery...this is the place they wanted to build a slant drill operation promising tons of cash to Carpinterians....they had ex-councilman boozehound Joe Armendariz as their de facto spokeman! can you imagine if one of those drilling piles vibrated loose and blew apart... it would take out the pier and a few seals too!!

 

ok well Venoco the gas price last week was $3.89 and this week it's at $4.09....that's a 20 cents increase! why?? what viable reason could you have for raising the gas prices that much? to meet an investment quota? or is it the same old "refinery issues" you guys use when you want to milk the public....geez louise...that's what  health insurance companies do all the time, raise my rates!

 

 

ok so anyway the Marine Mammal Center and the News-Press have finally perfected the "Shark Warning Sytem" or SWS...check on Page 2 of the News-Press..so I'm reading the warning and it says "the Casitas Pier workers described the shark as about 16 feet long....the workers said they noticed the shark when they heard a splash..the shark headed west then came back and hung out beneath an office at the end of the pier"...hmmmm I don't know what these Venonco dudes were smoking but this doesn't sound like a shark to me..

but I had to see for myself so I headed over to the bluffs...always a nice little hike around here and the scenery can't be beat....a beautiful September morning...and kids still carve their names in the trees...the ocean looked cool and inviting..I saw some seals swimming close to shore and some pelicans cruising over the water..but no sharks hanging out by the pier office....

the pier workers don't have a little digital camera? they couldn't take a picture of the shark? no I guess they couldn't because they didn't see one...there was no shark sighting in Carp....big oil profits means they can buy the best weed....why do you think BP oil platform blew up in the Gulf?

and that's all those guys in Carp saw...just the affects of some powerful Turkish weed

love, Shirley
