Wild thing
Skipper and Radar came by this afternoon for a small book party consisting of the four of us. They brought us two lobsters fresh from the sea. After Radar pulls the lobsters out of the traps he puts these heavy rubber bands on them, so their claws can't do serious damage.

Those claws do look like they could do a lot of damage. Sounds like a fun party.
I'd like to see them billed as "Product of Atlantic Canada" but I guess just "Product of Canada" is a start. Interesting that lobster shipment via container is being explored in the light of the recent shutdown of European air space and as a greener alternative, especially as this is earth day and we need to encourage more alternatives to widescale depletion of carbon fuels by excessive air traffic.
hahaha. awesome.
I think I remember dad telling me something about this- he was saying that not that long ago, Maine was re-banding NS lobsters as 'product of Maine' after the were bought (my father is an NS lobsterfisherman).
could be wrong, but his info was that the specifics on the bands had to do with that rebanding scheme going on.
sigh, I heart lobsters.
