Seems a bit harsh to categorize anyone who thinks Puget Sound includes Hood Canal as an idiot. However, I'll even bet there are some idiots out there who think Dabob Bay is not part of Hood Canal. As originally defined by the people handing out names, Puget Sound started at the Tacoma narrows heading south. Later some idiots started including Admiralty Inlet within the broader definition of Puget Sound. Now a whole lot of idiots think thats just the way it is. More recently, a bunch of other idiots rolled everything inside of Neah Bay together into a newly defined and all-inclusive Salish Sea. Where do all of these idiots come from?

The oyster deal is real. They can overcome the problem at the hatcheries by buffering the water, but natural production of a variety of important invertebrate species may be impacted with major implications for a lot of other things we've taken for granted in our lifetimes.
