“...part of memories our kids still cherish...”

My two and their families also.

I can remember going down there and always eating at Plessas’ Tavern at 891 Price Street, just off 101, the first night. Their baked clam on the half shell was beyong belief and if we three kids emptied our plate, Mr Lazarus, the owner after Mr Plessa died in the 1940’s, would give us a hershey bar to share.

At the south end of Price street going out of town is a motel that was there when we first went there. And they planted a tree in 1960 that we always called my mom’s tree because she like it. My mom passed about 8 years ago but that tree is still there, about 60 feet tall now, but is a real memory for me.

“How lucky was that!?”

Yep, ate my fill. And the crab made a great opener for moose stew, elk or bear steaks. Had to do a lot of exercise up there to keep my shape as you can easily eat yourself to death.

“They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me because, as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect...”

And she’s right there. And she was inperfect enough for being a man and a woman. So it wasn’t her expectation of perfection, it was her failure at the expectations of anyone.

“Getting Norwegian crab in Alaska?”

I was stationed in central Alaska in 1984-5 and we were lucky as it was a good year for crab, silvers and kings. Got all the good things at once.

“If I had kept it I would have been fined, because the fish cop was watching me a few yards behind me.

That clam is a mjor part of the local businesses both in use and history for tourism. Glad you put it back.

“...so it is possible the Valley dwellers don’t get to the beach very often and are ignorant of the rules and regs.”

My family is from Dinuba, where I was born, and raised in Visalia. I was 8 years old the first time we went and I still go every few years still. There are signs and rules about fishing, crabbing, clamming, and many other types of ways to handle the situations down there.

I saw pictures and had older folks tell me that some of the immigrants coming into the area used to float scrapping plows our beyond the breakers on boats, drop them, and drag hundreds of clams on to shore at a time using horses and old tractors. And there ae some areas every year that can’t be clammed because they need to assist in the breeding due to overclamming by closing the beech out.

Funny thing is in he old days that when we went down and got clams, we went to a little vegetable stand just south of Oceano to get the vegetables for the chowder in the early 1960’s on. We were there last year and that same stand is still open, exactly where it was, now run 3 generations later. The clam is important to the locals and they assist the visitors in legalities like max possession. If they clam out, business goes wrong.

A lot of things in your post.

“...informed consent did not take place...”

They were given the option of refusing the injection. But it would have constituted a bad conduct discharge. The troops signed the contract and refused an order, not the use of the vaccine.

Also, the information I gave you in the thread was truth. The original “religious” refusal was not part of the military system when the reason for refusal didn’t exist. Their complaint for refusal was based upon the use of cells in the vaccine which hadn’t been done for well over a 30 years.

“The annual influenza vaccine w2as a mixture of as many as 4 vaccines to cover what they thought would hit the next year in Febuary of the previous year. And they knew that over 200 were coming through so they guessed at the worst. As for the command response, numbers proved they should have.

The overall burden of influenza (flu) for the 2021-2022 season was an estimated 9.4 million flu illnesses, 4.3 million flu-related medical visits, 100,000 flu-related hospitalizations, and 4,900 flu deaths. The military mandated the vaccine for only 15 months from August 2021 through January 2023. COVID-19 was listed as the underlying cause in 415,399 deaths during 2021. But being a military troop, and having an understanding of bio warfare, (NBC), the intention of it is not neccessarily to kill, but to disable the fighting man/woman. And the unknowledgeable efforts of troops to misuse the religious angle accomplished that by increasing TDY’s and short moves downrange for some and others didn’t do their job.

“The religious exemptions should have been accepted, period.”

It was, and they were discharged. But no excemption should be accepted at face value. And this was one. It only became an inquisition when the vaccine was misidentified by someone and people were trying to take advantage of it to get out of trips downrange. And that made it harder for the troops that fullfilled their contracts, and had to go back far more than they would if the exemptors had done what they said they would do.

“As for assurances that no abortive tissue was used in testing and development, the many violations of scientific principals and practices that have already taken place in this entire “COVID” phenomenon leave those assurances sounding both faint and futile.”

Then prove them wrong. My info comes from numerous sources from the AMA and the CDC. You are working with conjecture, not fact or even an investigation for proof of the use of cells in the vaccines past 1985. Need more than that otherwise it is a rumor.

“The House Armed Services Committee adopted an amendment in the annual defense policy bill on May 22 that, if cleared through Congress, would force the Pentagon to rehire U.S. troops who were fired for refusing a COVID-19 vaccine.”

They weren’t discharged for refusing the injections, article 92, they were discharged for failure to obey a direct order. The original religious reason didn’t hold water because they were wrong in what they were complaining about. And that had nothing to do with the vaccine as it didn’t contain their supposed problem and hadn’t since 1985. They had a right to refuse the order if the vaccine contained the cells they professed, but it didn’t so they didn’t have a reason to refuse at that time.

If the public actually knew what the militay members were getting they’d be shocked anyway. But the claims made at that time were not valid. So the reason for refusal wasn’t either and still isn’t. Cells were not used to create the vaccine after 1985 as the vaccine itself was used. And military members that went after this religious excemption never saw any of the cell made products.

“They could will have been harvesting them.”

My parents owned property with a cabin beachside at Pismo and we go almost every year to relax down there. My father and I used to walk the beach in the morning and collect clams, correct size, getting those that ended up stranded on the sand when the tide receded. If the news agency is trying to say that they went down the beach and collected 72 clams in one day, they are not telling the truth. You could walk from Shell Beach, north of Pismo, all the way past the white dunes south of the state park and not get close to that amount. They’d been doing the collect for days unless they were also clamming and had licenses. And unless they were camping on the beach, all 72 wouldn’t have been seen by the game warden together if they had them.

72 is not enough to make any real difference for them though as it might make a good amount of chowder or cocktail, but it won’t corner the market. So they were doing it for the family, and got caught in possession of too many and that has been a heavily observed law since the 1950’s. They just weren’t real bright.

“We sure don’t get much for our money.”

We get a lot more than you think.

The feds have black sites and bio/chem labs in the Ukraine. The Ukraine’s biggest exports to us are pig iron, pipes, sunflower seeds, juices and soybeans. In 2019, of the $1.3 billion in U.S. imports from Ukraine, the top commodity sectors were Base metals (59.0%), Agriculture products (12.0%), and Machinery and Mechanical Appliances (9.5%). It has shrunk some as of 2022, but it still is high.

“...before the umbrella is shoved in his face...”

Interesting part of this is that the umbrella was blocking the news reporter but when he changed sides anad there was nothing in the way, the umbrella was folded and not even needed for anything. It wasn’t needed for anything to begin with so it’s obvious it was used to threaten the reporter at the least.

“Thanks for correcting me”

Not correcting, you were on target about GW as he was a fighter pilot also, just not old enough to be in WW II. And with all the misinformation the left throws around, it’s easy to have one get by. I’m older than dirt and I miss some sometimes. I hope you help me when I get one out of context or am lied to. It’s the only way we can protect ourselves from the lying left. And since they control and use the judicial system, corect information is the path to our future.

It takes a real man to admit he isn’t.

This was a major point in Johnson’s efforts to get something passed by limiting the border entrance to 5K releases a day. The current amount is over 11,600 a day with more than 10K new people a day arriving at the entrance points.

There’s no way either side is going to shut down the border and if they do it will just increase the swimmers and government flights scattered over thousands of miles along the south. There will be absolutely no control at all.

Biden’s uncle was listed as a currier, not a combat pilot.
He flew single engine aircraft but the aircraft for the mission in question was a Douglas twin A20 Havoc. He wasn’t even flying the A20 and was a passenger.

The aircraft never made it to New Guinea as it was forced to ditch in the Pacific and everyone but one person made it out, Sgt. Anthony Zulkus. So Biden’s uncle most likely drowned and is still listed missing because no wreckage or bodies have been recovered so he stays missing. No awards were given as it was not a combat flight.

“At the end there it mentioned that GW, of the Bushitter clan was shot down and his fellow crewman WERE eaten. If I’m not mistaken, he fought in the European theater.”

George H.W. Bush was a decorated fighter pilot of the United States Navy during World War Two, flying successful missions against Japanese military installations. He actively served in the Navy until the Japanese surrender in 1945. GW wasn’t born until 1946. GW couldn’t have reached the rudder petals. He mixed up his W’s.

I find the wrong reasons for the recognition of Palestine, which sits on Israel land, to be changing it’s position and existance. According to their leaders they justify their existance with declaring their state in 1988 and they have embassies in more than 130 countries and more countries are recognising our state on the 1967 borders. So is McDonald’s a state?

wy69

No. He was captured on the campaign trail in New Guinea and boiled with a little garlic and parsley. The Bidens are best served with asafoetida and wilted lettuce. Appearance is an important part of the dish.

So if the “view” hostess is so petty as to consider a person’s appearance, even to the point of being white or female, as the main points of a person’s worth, then how does she explain Brittney Griner? Griner was important enough, even being caught in a criminal act, to be traded for with a name terrorist that is going to kill people down the road. Nice to see people displaying their own short sightedness. As far as I know, good is more important appearance.
