On Fox29 tonight they said the whale may be the large black thing that the fishing boat hit last weekend and sank the boat. Weird stuff....

That was their solution? Blowing up the whale with dynamite?

No Rob, they didn't blow up the whale. It was cut up and removed to a landfill after the autopsy. We have a 'One Hour Photo' in our store, and all day we got film of the beastie. As the day went on, the photos showed the whale being cut and put on a truck for removal. That is really freaky about the fishing boat and the whale...but would fit the timing of the sinking of the boat. If it was what hit the boat, those guys have an even BIGGER fish story than they first thought!

I'm talking about the whale in California that someone mentioned.
So the whale is now gone? What do you use to cut up a whale? Why take it to a landfill (to be buried with the rest of the garbage, I presume) instead of dumping it into the ocean so something can feed on the remains?
Whatever the case may be, I'm sure it stinks!

I sent that website off to everyone I know. How interesting, blowing up a whale. You have to get rid of it somehow.

Was it Orca? Anyway, why were there 6 whales that they found this year? It says 6 in the paper article. Is this unusual in this area?

Six does seem like alot, maybe there are including little 3 and 6 footers in this number? But anyway, it is a big ocean, so who knows? :-)
By the way, does anyone remember a few years ago a giant turtle washed up by the fishing pier in the Crest? It was one of those Galapagos turtles you would see in Australia. This would have been in June, maybe 2000 or 2001. Very strange.
