Every year we go out and see people using screwdrivers and filet knives and hammers, and you're always afraid some day you'll go out there and see somebody's finger on the beach. We get calls all the time, 'How do you clean oysters?' and it's hard to explain over the phone.

We're seeing a big increase in recent years in oyster sets on our beaches. A couple years ago we had a big set in Hood Canal. Those oysters are not necessarily available now, but we've increased harvest rates because of the oysters that are going to be available next year and the following year.

If you don't follow that advice and eat raw oysters, you definitely should not be doing it in the summer when the water is warm.

I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough, it’ll make sense.

There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.

I've been afraid of people playing their life away with too many toys.
