Mr. T would be so jealous; one of the kid’s parents at the
mission has a rescued wirehaired pointer.
My wife and I went to the hardware store to get a couple furnace filter
for the trailer and when we were leaving I saw a wire haired standing in the
front seat of a four door Ford truck.
That would have made my day, but as soon as we parked the van at the mission
the same truck pulled in behind us.
I was out of the van and headed to see the dog in no time.
I couldn’t help myself, and I know why.
It’s all Mr. T’s fault; I have spent too much time with him
picking up bad habits such as being part dog crazy. I’m nowhere near as ill as
he is but I fear someday he and his daughter might drive me into dog-senility.
I wish I‘d taken my camera to the hardware store.
Later that day the wife and I decided to go kayaking. I actually had to drag her to go, but
she soon realized it was well worth the misery of getting all the gear together
and carrying the kayak to mission beach.
Our trip was to take us out and around Bird Island, which is
the island in the middle of the picture below.
It was a wonderful trip with glassy seas and plenty of
sunshine. We saw a seal swimming
toward us, but when it got close enough for its comfort it sank below the
surface. That was the last we saw
of the seal. Besides seeing many
different species of birds we were almost overtaken by a giant squid that I was
able to fight off with my oar.

The wife tells me it was really just a large pink
jellyfish.
