Someone turned on the tv in the breakroom during lunch, and following all the innawguration folderol, there was a story about several hundred Dosidicus gigas (Humboldt squid) beaching themselves in Newport Beach. This happened a few years ago in La Jolla and at Catalina Island. Seems a little early for them to be showing up here. We were given one last year in April, that one of the purse seiners caught in his net. We later found a home for it at one of the local museums, where it'll help educate school children about cephalopods.
