• Area 9 mystery — Nobody wants to tell me anything about Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet) blackmouth.
Does that mean it’s so good nobody wants to share? Or does that mean it’s so bad nobody wants to talk about it?
Could somebody please head out there and report back so I don’t have to throw darts at a wall?
• Clamoring for clams — Diggers get another chance to score razor clams today and Saturday at Kalaloch.
Yes, the conditions look less than appealing. But you know what they say: “A bad day clamming . . . really stinks.”
Wait, maybe you should just stay home.
