Stay Classy San Diego

We love drinks. Kathy enjoys a mango martini. Mitch gulped down a pisco sour. The Ayers were at lunch in San Diego's Balboa Park at the Prado restaurant with Kirk and Teddy- Karin and Chris were there too. Ron and Robin came as well.

Kathy was kidnapped by her grandson Kirk to Wichita Falls to play when her 2nd grandson was arriving.

Clap your Wings

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. I made my hands into a butterfly.

Fish

Kirk was delighted to discover a small aquarium in the butterfly center.

Don't Jump

Mitch leans out and thinks about returning to work tomorrow.....

No Compensation

Dude, if you wanna pick up the ladies, you're going to need a bigger car.

Greve in Chianti

Mitch, JB and Traci setting up for an al fresco repast. There are 2 bottles of wine- what will be left for Traci to drink?

Trevi Wish

Kathy wishes that Neptune would drop the drape. How much shrinkage after thousands of years in the ocean? Inquiring minds want to know!

Trojans?

So many jokes here. Supply your own

Flying Rats

Mitch promotes the flying rat population of St Mark's Square. Thanks. More disease and feces for everyone!

Still here?

Poor Cranberry, 2 months ago they got a 2nd cat (although the world's BEST cat who is dog friendly) then this puppy that seems to be staying then the blonde one and her 2 year old energetic spawn are here. For one day both of the Ayer kids and Kirk were here. How is a dog supposed to nap 20 hours a day with all these extra mammals in her house?

Leashes are for Bitches

Big Irish was free range until last week. He's still mastering leash training.

more tile work

Imagine that- Big Irish is asleep on the floor dreaming of the Connecticut climate.

Large and small

Cranberry "welcomed" Big Irish into the Katy compound this week. Laying on the tile is apparently part of the breed standard.

Baja Whale Watching Trip

Pilot Whale

Smooching Sea Lions

Sea Lions aren't afraid of a little PDA- like Parisians.

Sally Lighfoot Crabs

These red crabs are not as good with Old Bay seasoning as Blue Crabs.

Rainbow Blow

The elusive rainbow in blow.

Arf- Arf

Fluke-tastic

More happily fluking whales here in the Sea of Cortez

Sentinel Sea Lion

They're like meerkats but different.

Sea Lion seeks Chiropractor

This sea lion needs some "manipulations and adjustments." Remember kids: Neck adjustments can lead to vertebral artery shearing. Sounds bad, eh? Yeah, it is the main blood supply to your brain. So use it, don't go to chiropractors who want to do neck manipulations.

Blow Hole

Kathy says, "You can tell which whale it is by how it blows." Insert joke here.

Pollutants Needed

Look at how easily these dolphins are seen in the water. Clearly, we need to increase dumping, shipping and fossil fuel use in the area. This is too beautiful. It will decrease productivity of those who know it exists.
