I love it when this happens. I am originally from Carmel, CA the founding freaks of all enviro nut case stuff. For years they remained isolated from the towns around them because, well because us people from Carmel are too good for everyone else. So I'm gone for ten years or so and I read in the paper that the town had been cited by the EPA as the major polluter of sea water in the entire west. Why? Well they were too good to join with every other city in waste management (chemicals, you know) and had used septic tanks for each home's waste (shit), so not only had the septic tanks leaked into all the ground in Carmel but it was leaching into Carmel bay and killing abalone, otters (THE enviro sacred cow) and all the stuff abalone eat. They were forced into joining up with the lower classes in Monterey and use a county sewer system. Talk about people who honestly believed that their shit did not stink like everyone else's.....
 

Thanks for that, Howard. Glad we get our Abalone at Little River, Ca. joyce
