I may not know it

Today, as most of you know, would have been my mother's 62nd birthday. We celebrated by driving out to Ocean Shores. This was quite the adventure. It shouldn't have been. LOL

First, I sent Kyle to school, then had to go get him. Then, Cher forgot to drop off rent, so we had to go back and do that. Then we had to go to my bank, then we got lost in Olympia. Then we took three different exits looking for a grocery store and not one of them HAD one. The next exit - one I didn't take? A TOP food and drug, right there.

So, I see a sign with a SAFEWAY logo? I take the exit and end up in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, Cher was swearing it like 'The Hills Have Eyes' and that we'd see a shack with "SAFWAEY" painted on it and that we were all going to die. So, we finally see this Safeway, I cut across traffic to get into the parking lot and end up grounding my poor car on the divider. *SIGH*

Finally, we get to Ocean Shores. :D

( AND THE BIRDS ATTACK )
Needless to say, the drive home was much, MUCH shorter. :) And everyone slept but me.

Australian media say a lost humpback whale calf has bonded with a yacht it seems to think is its mother.

The 1- to 2-month-old calf was first sighted Sunday in waters off north Sydney, and on Monday tried to suckle from a yacht, which it would not leave.

Rescuers towed the yacht out to sea, and the calf finally detached from the boat but still swam nearby, Australian Broadcasting Corp. and Channel 10 television news reported.

The calf appears exhausted but rescuers hope it will continue out to sea and search for its mother or another pod of whales.

"The outlook is not good, but we are giving the calf its only option. It can't be fed, and in fact we wouldn't know what to feed it" because it is not weaned, National Parks and Wildlife regional manager Chris McIntosh told ABC radio.
