Call the Cheese Iron in Scarborough. It’s not cheap, but they have excellent stuff.

If you are not listening to Tommy C on WCLZ, you are missing some good stuff. A lot of things you haven’t heard in years and things you’ve never heard.

I will agree that is the more likely outcome. But there are a lot of implications if it goes futher. Like i said, this might get intresting.

I get my dose of 'BLM every morning at 7:20 on Maine Public Radio. Still great to hear Altitude Lou. I was more of a 'TOS/'FNX type, myself, but the Blimp was the soundtrack to pretty much every hour long bus ride from Farmington to Weld, and vice-versa, from 1982-1986.

More like a public policy (political) issue which is non-judiciable. Rule 11 toss is my guess.

All these lawsuits are going to raise the prices of our favorite bugs by how much? What's the point, really?

You’ll be fine registering it but you’ll need to do it in person. If it was less than 6 months overdue you’d be able to do the fast version online and have the new stickers mailed to you.

Yes, but you're doing thoughtful work with your phone and in time our dumbasses gradually become smartasses.

I mean, I don't know. I could see coming up with that and thinking you've got the perfect defense against the state taking it away.
I don't know Peter. He's probably a legit vegan, but hahd sayin not kowin.

What's up with the downvotes here? It's a more than reasonable question.
Identifying snarled lines can be challenging. There's some likelihood that lobster gear will contain components (traps, buoys, quick connects, weak links, etc) and/or rigging style unique to this application. But if it's been dragged around by a whale for a while, maybe not.

Maine lobster fishermen color-code their rope. The law requires specific colors, of specific lengths, to be inserted in specific sections of the line. This makes it easy to identify. They also insert breakaway links.

You can tell a lot by the kind of line and if there's other trap gear debris along with it, possibly even trap tags.

Allegedly From the NOAA:
"there has never been a death traced back to the Maine lobster industry and only one documented injury from lobster gear since 2004."
So, unless Seafood Watch and the aquarium are fine with chucking out random undocumented claims with no proof, they better be prepared in litigation for a while.

Reply to comment by JerseyP in Pine tree power question by respaaaaaj
Just because it is on their website doesn't make it a fact. There are many promises that PTP is making about increasing reliability, lower cost and cleaner energy sources, but at the end of the day they really haven't proven how they will make any of those things happen. A multibillion dollar debt for no proven reward is quite risky. Buyer, beware.

Best thing is to call your city/town office and find out. Some towns might accept credit cards and some may not. If they do, they can probably mail you the reg & tags.

While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration lists entanglement in fishing gear as a primary cause of mortality and injury among right whales, there has never been a death traced back to the Maine lobster industry and only one documented injury from lobster gear since 2004.
