did you smell sea lion farts and that
horrid guano? ha! still beautiful tho.
Lisa and I both decided the joy of seeing the sea lions cavort, yawn, slide over one another, slip in and out of the water and generally entertain us, was worth the smell. I think the pelicans and cormorants guano was a bigger smell than sea lion farts. And Sunna, you can get really close. Some were within touching distance, but we weren't that close.
OMG, I'm just watching the news about the flu. Did you know the virus can survive up to 8 hours on anything - think shopping carts, doors, counters, handles, sinks...oh god, it's horrendously scary. I talked to two clients this morning who sounded like exactly the same person - both coughing up a lung and both had been out of commission for THREE weeks and still not anywhere near well. One lives in Oakland and the other in Fresno, CA. I really, really, really don't want to get this. But then I hear about the carcinogenic ingredients in the flu shot and potentially severe allergic reactions and I think I'll just stay at home until this blows over.
Red, good to see you back!
Sammy, great results! Congrats!
Vamp dust for Cake!
Yay for book blurbs, LW, and Lil for virgin blurbing!
Mike, take care of yourself and little one. Get lots of rest and drink water so that your immune system isn't weakened.
More vamp dust for Shveta!
Y'all, I could use a little good luck. I'm about to go mail out my application for this amazing dissertation writing workshop in Sydney. It would be a fantastic opportunity. Plus an expenses-paid trip to Sydney!
Oh, that's exciting! Good luck and let us know how that goes!
