Fairy Shrimp
Fairy shrimp: Ooh! That crab boil is tho hot!
FReepmail me to be added or removed to the ECO-PING list!
What utter hogwash!
shoot shovel and shut up.
Hmmmm....I wonder what they taste like in scampi sauce?
They'd be a bit of a hassle, because you'd need a lot of them.
Perhaps they'd be nice in an Alfredo sauce over some angel hair pasta.
They're going to be up to their spandex clad butts in bears within a few short years.
I thought they were short guys from Greenwich Village.
The Fairy Shrimp was the name of bar located in Laguna Beach back in the seventies. Or was it the Little Shrimp?

In-fill and D-e-v-e-l-o-p-e-r-s; tax base for towns/cities/schools/. Is progress measured in population with disregard to all else? D-e-v-e-l-o-p-m-e-n-t in in-appropriate areas for taxes to city/towns/schools. Progress is a two-edged sword – what do you need and what do you want? It isn’t just animal habitat it is people habitat that is being crowded out by D-e-v-e-l-o-p-e-r-s for short time jobs, leaving scorched earth behind them as the D-e-v-e-l-op-e-r rarely resides in the place where flora and fauna have been removed for the new housing development. Try to stop these people and you run into an unbelievable machine run by Bureaucrats ‘down town’ who take no responsibility as the D-e-v-e-l-o-p-e-r-s write the ordinances for the most part.
The underlying motive here is to maintain a playground for the few with the means and time to enjoy it.
Was this copied from the S.F. Examiner?
I dont care.
Y'all been pinged to this Bear Roast yet...
The Dust Restoration Team?
A little background on some of these very elite and often trust fund liberal winos er vineyard owners. Up to about 3-4 years ago, these people were big funders and supporters of the Sierra Club and other enviral organizations.
They woke up to the reality that the SC would put most of them out of business. They had a green rebellion and took over control of the local Sierra Club. Since then, the local SC under their control for the most part seeks ways to work with local farmers and land ownners.
Hidden in this woodpile of super rich lefties are whackos like Robert Redford and Nancy Pelosi and her husband:

It is really hard to find an old family owned vineyard/winery in Napa county unlike the Sonoma county vineyard area, where the same families have owned the land and vineyards for decades and generations. Super rich elites from NY and Follywood have been buying up old family vineyards for the past two decades in Napa county. What they haven't bought, often has been bought by some mega corporation. Then, the VIPs of that organization can fly out here to make sure that everything is a ok.
As noted above, many of these new vineyard/land owners are very elite and wealthy, and they are big and long time liberals. Some come from old trust fund families. Does Procter and Gamble ring any bells. One of the Gamble trust funders is quoted in this article. In fair balance he seems like a nice fellow.
The undiscussed goal of many of these elites is to use our tax exempting system to create ways to protect their estates from taxes. Then, they and their heirs can live on the estates tax free and forever.
In the future we may see the creation of the Napa Valley Rutherford Dust Preservation, Fairy Shrimp Preservation, Red Legged Frog Preservation, Blue Heron Preservation, Napa River Steelhead Preservation combined into one massive reserve.
This reserve will be made up from the so called donation of the vineyards by these 28 landowners. The owners and their heirs will then live tax free forever on the new reserve. They will still grow grapes and produce wine under a special tax free grant for the kind donation of their land and maybe 10% of the profits going back to the county and various so called green organizations. This was called fascism in Germany and Italy from the 1930's until WWII was over.
The good news is the local Sierra Club has been castrated and made into a nice lap kitty instead of the feral mountain lion, it used to be.
