GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Hundreds of sea lions that abruptly blew out of San Francisco Bay’s Pier 39 last Thanksgiving have apparently found a new home at another tourist attraction — 500 miles north on the Oregon coast.

Maybe the Sea Lions don’t approve of SF’s lifestyle.

Try living next to several hundred of them barking all night. It may quickly change any romantic notion you may have about life at sea.

There were 3000 people leaving Kalifornika every day and now the critters are even leaving.

LOL the worst I have to deal with is a few geese and sandhill cranes spring through fall.

I’ve seen what those things do to boats at the marinas around SF.

These people paid big $$$ to park their expensive boats there only to have marine mammals destroy them and no legal way to stop it.

[Huskrrrr]

even the sea lions are overtaxed.

As they swam away they were heard to bark, “We will return when our congresswoman regains the ability to blink”.

Geez.....I give up, give me a clue. Last year when a group
of us were talking about cougar moving further south into
our state a sheeple tried to tell us it was because of
global warming. When I asked how that could cause an animal
to move further south they were stumped.

So how do San Francisco Sea Lions find out about fish in Oregon? Communication over a distance?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

You were saying ...

Naaahhh..., they're just visiting the relatives at the Sea Lion Caves in Oregon... :-)

You were asking ...

Well, a few relatives come down from the Sea Lion Caves in Oregon, drop in on the cousins on Pier 39, and the next thing you know, after a few drinks and talking about the economy and weather and food up in Oregon -- all the relatives at Pier 39 go for an extended vacation.... LOL...

Sunbathing in Oregon, whenever there is any sun, at this time of year... LOL...
