well goodness gracious. Why in the world would anyone begrudge an oysterman or oysterwoman the choice of picking the oysters when it is best for them to do so, day or night. They have to get them at night here in the winter because that is when the low tides are. I don't know about the other times of the year. It is a hard and dangerous line of work and here we can sit and criticize them from our computers. What a world we live in. mg
