And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Owe hon. lemme tell ya" shuckin' ershchers at Lexin'ton Market in Ballmer was truly good eatin'. Ershchers, with ketchup and Old Bay, and a Natty Bo, well, that's the "Land o' Pleasant Livin'." A few dozen Crabs at Obrycki's on a sheet of brown paper, with Natty Bo of course, and life was real goooood. No doubt about it. I may be in Seattle, but some part of me is always in the Cheasapeake Bay.
You don't want to be around the market these days. Open air drug market. When I worked at the G&E building back in the 70s we used to hike up to the market several times a week for lunch. The Utz Potato Chip stand, Mary Mervis's, Faidley's, etc. Obrycki's is long gone too. I left in '84; now reside in PA.
Take the sack, dump them on the ground and hose all the dirt off them.... Then put them in a wash tub, You know the kind,,, the ones out back at grandma's house!!!! (that she used to bathe you in!!!) add some well water, some ice and let them sit over night!!! In the morning after breakfast and coffee.. someone will say about 10:30 .. "Wonder how those oyster's are doin???" (YOU DID REMEMBER TO PUT AT LEAST A CASE OF BEER IN WITH THOSE SLIDER'S!!!!?????????????????)... If'n you don't know the next scene... yer' slackin'.... skybill PS This is "SOP" down here in S/E Louisiana!!!!!!!!!
PS Levin' them "agitated" oysters in the fresh water over night gets them to "RELAX" and aspirate al the river water and purge the crud out of them so when we get to shuckin'..... GOOD STUFF!! PS .. been there, done that... got the T-shirt skybill
Alternate Use: Wear these when clipping the toenails of big dogs. I have 2 Borzoi and they hate anything touching their toes. I also use them when I trim mt wife's toenails too as I never know if she'll bite me.
We'd row across the bay and shuck the meats. Four for the bag, one down the hatch. I'd take horseradish and Tabasco with me. Anyway, I only used a cloth rag to keep from getting cut. Isuppose you could wear special made gloves.
My first job at age 15 was shucking oysters at an oyster bar. Worst job in my life.
