 AS> Who are they? <g>

The Florida Marine Patrol.

 AS> he'd find his way out.  Still haven't figured out how he entered the

 ->> You don't want to *know* the fine for killing a sea turtle;

 AS> It's steep.

Thousands!

 ->> The Marine Patrol came close to locking up a shrimp boat captain in

 AS> In these parts, you don't need to bring them to shore. ;-)

They volunteer?  They're looking for a place to lay eggs.

 ->  AS>> You can guess the end to this story. ;-)

 ->> Turtle for dinner?

 AS> You know, MIL was tempted but we talked her out of that. ;-)

A pity.  You would have had a succulent, otherwise unobtainable meal and none
would have been the wiser.  Gourmets would envy you.

 ->> I saw some of this on the tube a few minutes ago; my daughter moved

 AS> Oh, she's here already?  Looks like she's getting pelted as we
 AS> speak.  Martin County, just north of Palm Beach, declared a state of
 AS> emergency some hours ago.

She moved to Seffner, in Hillsborough county about 3 weeks ago.
