We must be missing something. People are actually excited about
thousands of jellyfish floating around in the waters by Cannery
Village? They're showing up by the docks and the restaurants, cameras
in hand, to catch a glimpse of the translucent, bobbing creatures?
Perhaps it's all the time we've spent in the ocean, but we don't
abide by creatures like jellyfish -- the most common of which belong
to the class Scyphozoan -- in these parts. We've felt the lashing
sting of a sea jelly as it floated past. And we knew that, despite
all "scientific" evidence to the contrary, these creatures are at
the mercy of the tide and currents -- dastardly sea monsters .
We could almost hear its laugh above our howls of pain.
But now these evil beasts are getting a warm welcome in Newport
Harbor. If it's somehow part of a plan to gather them all together
and cart them off -- gently and safely, of course, we're not about to
lower ourselves to their level -- then we're all for it.
Where exactly did the Grand Canal ducks end up?
