RE: [Paddlewise] Blubbering on (was: One bright thing pre Y2K)

No blubber, but I had seal the other night for dinner.  A Tlingit friend of
mine had invited me over for dinner - seal and herring eggs dipped in seal
oil.  Seal STINKS, but tastes OK,  it reminded me of the flavor of liver.
I'm personally VERY happy that I don't have to exist (it's not called
subsistence living without reason!) on a diet of seal, walrus, and whale.
