TATTOOS

Susie told me that all the old ladies when she gets old will have them(tattoos). Yep. Know that is true. But whatever you do never, never put someones name on your body that you think you will love forever.Today I had a young, pretty Latino lady seeking a restraining order against ERIK. She might hate him now but she will never be able to forget him. She had put his name in giant letters across the back of her neck. E R I K

Nature at the beach

My nature walks. Twice I have seen a seal pup very much alive on the beach. The first time Shadow went running up to it and got the scare of his life when it raised its head and hissed at him I went home and called the marine rescue people, left a message on their machine. Two days later another pup, but this time it was roped off with a sign to leave him alone, when he was ready he would go back into the water. And sure enough that is what he did. These pups were very small and had to be just a few weeks old. Then Ray and I watched a blue heron catch a field mouse or rat and then slowly swallow it whole. I did not know they did that. It was just like a snake seeing the big bluge go down the skinny neck.
