LOL re: the Peking Duck. And to think the SD Health Dept tried to outlaw a what - 6,000 year old Chinesedelicay?
Oh - the bureaucrats and their finding reasons to exist.
Went diving for Abolone way back - 1970 or so - with a buddy of mine who was a stockbroker. We were up by Ft. Ross/The Russian Fort - and he and another classmate of ours from Regis had gotten into trouble in an earlier dive. Note - you had a thick steel bar about a foot long and two inches wide and tapered front to back - and you had to slip it underneath the Ab's shell - as if you didn't surprise them - their interior muscle just clamped down very hard on the rock and they were virtually impossible to dislodge.
Anyhow - a few months before - my friend and our other classmate were diligently diving down to the seaweeds for abs (fairly deep free dive - maybe 20 feet plus)- and they didn't notice the tide coming in. When they came up - it was higher and the wave action was up - and they kept getting washed off the shore rocks by waves.
Finally - a 12? year old Boy Scout extended his fishing pole down to one of them and that helped him scramble up - and he didn't know the other guy had also been saved - until at least an hour later.
Since one was a stockbroker - a couple days later - on the front page of the Wall Street Journal - was a headline: Boy Scout saves stockbroker and friend.
