Topic: xtreme low tide

this week we're having one of the LOWEST tides ever along the Puget Sound and  local beaches.  -4.5  during the daytime is really cool.    usually these low lows are late / early mornings.

I WAS INFORMED BY A DEPT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE OFFICER THAT  NO LIVING  THINGS ARE TO BE TAKEN OFFF THE BEACH- AND THE BEACH WAS NOW CLOSED---THERE WERE 9 OTHER   WHITE PEOPLE  THERE --STILL  PICKING UP SOUVENIERS OFF THE BEACH.  I WAS PHOTOGRAPHING A  CARTILAGE OF SOME FISH HEAD  WHEN I WAS INFORMED OF  I NEEEDED TO PUT IT BACK.     PEOPLE WERE TAKING ALL SORTS OF SOUVENIERS IN BUCKETS BACK TO THEIR HOMES NEARBY.     THIS  WAS  HARRASSSMENT.      TO DEFLECT FROM THEIR OWN GUILT  -- WHITE POACHERS  TURN IN  nonwhiteS  WHO ARE MERELY PHOTOGRAPHING NATURE.    THEN HE SAID I COULD KEEP THE FISH CARTILAGE AFTER HE TOLD ME  IT WAS  ILLEGAL TO TAKE ANY LIVING ORGANISM OFF THE BEACH.      THE CARTILAGE WAS NOT A living organism.   HE COULD HAVE INFORMED  IN  A  LESSS  POMPOUS, AUTHOURITATIVE, WAY---   THEY SHOULD PAINT THE RAILINGS A SPECIAL COLOR - INFORMING THE PUBLIC  OF THIS IS A PROTECTED AREA.  .   THE SEATTLE AQUARIUM GUIDES DID NOT ADMONISH  PEOPLE WHO WERE DIGGING UP  CLAMS AND TAKING THEM AWAY.    OR THE PEOPLE HARVESTING THE BULL KELPS.    

DID  I GET PROFILED BY MY  FEATURES?     AM  I  IN A  COMPUTER DATABASE   OF   BEACH  CRIMINALS?      HOMELAND SECURITY IS OUT OF   HAND.     DID  HE  QUESTION  THE   GUY  SITTING  ON THE  LOGS WITH   BOTH   HANDS DOWN THE  FRONT  OF HIS  PANTS   GROANING LOUDLY   AND  STARING DOWN THE  YOUNG GIRLS NEARBY?     DID  HE   GO  AFTER   THE  TEEEN LITTER BUGS?    OR  THE SMOKERS WHO LEAVE THEIR BUTTS BEHIND?
