Thar She Blows!


Whales! We were out at Funston with poochie, and there — so close you could almost touch 'em — were whales! Lots of 'em, breaching and blowing. We watched for about an hour. It was hard to tear ourselves away!

We've never seen whales from there or anywhere in San Francisco. We've recently seen dolphins from there, but these were definitely whales (John carries his binoculars, of course.) And it's not even migratory season.

I was pretty depressed this morning about stuff, but this helped take me out of myself.

Very, very cool!! Seeing whales is such an amazing thing. It always takes me completely out of myself. Something about the bigness of them.

Plus, they *are* mammals. so sort of our relatives, no?
