 ML> As there are those who can't tell the difference between shrimp
 ML> and lobster and even the little crayfish we get, this is not a
 ML> big surprise. Most of our rock lobsters eaten on the east coast
 ML> come from the Gulf of Mexico, though several other sources have
 ML> been explored (Africa, Australia, China).

And possibly the W Indies.
 
 GJ> Meanwhile, the left-over bits of the clawless crayfish, known as
 GJ> "spiders", are sold as to us locals, still at a fairly high price.

 ML> I remember the day not so long ago when Clean Dave and The
 ML> BBUD picked up a bag of these at Woodman's for 25c each. I
 ML> partook of one or two myself. That was a lovely day.

For those who are prepared to work over them, the leg meat is worth it.
 
 GJ> As the valve on the bladder is always under slight positive pressure
 GJ> from the wine, it is difficult to see how oxygen could enter the bag.
 ML> I imagine there is a small upstream migration of gas
 ML> somehow no matter what the pressure, and just a few
 ML> molecules here and there, and next thing you know
 ML> you're talking real corruption.

The valve would stop the Brownian movement of the oxygen molecules into
the bag.  I think my theory of a droplet being trapped in the external
part of the valve and becoming oxidised is more likely.
 
 GJ> I have just seen a TV program on Business in USA, in which it was
 GJ> claimed that long distance bus travel has increased for the first time
 GJ> in decades.

 ML> There is an all-business-class bus service between
 ML> Boston and New York that offers canapes and wireless
 ML> Internet. I read about it not on the bathroom walls
 ML> but rather in advertisements posted in the corridor
 ML> leading to the US Airways Shuttle gates (which goes
 ML> between Boston and New York).

That should suit your life style, and spare you the indignities
inflicted on airline passengers in the USA.  In fact, you could imagine
yourself sharing and enjoying the facilities that presidential hopefuls
and pop stars now utilise.
