If I wanted to know more about fish, I went to Tom Douglas's fabulous Etta's in Pike Place.

Not Jefferson Starship. The lyric is from "Eskimo Blue Day" on the album "Volunteers" by Jefferson Airplane: "... Doesn't mean shit to a tree."

What if the Beach Naturalists apply for their own separate grant with MacKenzie Bezos and start their own separate program, not associated with the lost leadership at the Aquarium? I hear she is more diverse with her giving than Melinda Gates.

Hey I've got a great idea. Why doesn't the City step in and make up the grant money? We must find a way to validate the fee-fees of these beach naturalists who can't bare to go on living after losing their precious hat and name tag.

Or an even better idea. These folks can get their asses down to FareStart and volunteer to work in an 85 degree kitchen, preparing meals for the homeless. There ain't no hat and badge but at least they'll do some good for society. Beachgoers can use Google Lense to learn about tidepools.
