Lenya@Germany 28 Jul 2010 14:39:44 PDT Sharon, I read your post with much dismay. I remember so clearly you singing last year and the lone orca surfacing near us as well as the wonderful whale-watching trips we shared. I know that you will be better for September and I send you and Doug much love from the UK. Please take care and take your time to heal properly. Lots of love to you both. XXXXX Sally and Chris Sally@London 28 Jul 2010 13:17:14 PDT Ah, Sharon, that is sad news, just hoping things will go well for you this time, & that we'll see you again before too long. All our best to you & Doug. Paul & Helena@OL 28 Jul 2010 12:58:47 PDT Oh Sharon I am so sad for you. Please do whatever you need to do to get Well again. Towhee@Port Angeles 28 Jul 2010 12:30:04 PDT A friend sent me this lovely cheerful story: plenty of krill in Monterey Bay; grey whales and blue whales are feasting http://bit.ly/9KC5Fm now on my third try to read the authentication code Towhee@Port Angeles 28 Jul 2010 12:13:43 PDT Good morning to all! I just learned that I must go back into the hospital until my blood count goes up. I must be on intervenous fluids. I really do not know what that means for our OL trip. I am thinking we will have to cancel the August part of the reunion and still go in Sept. That does not mean the reunion is off, it just means Doug and I will not be there. I will greatly miss everyone and I am crying while I type this.I hope all goes well and I still somehow get to visit with Wendy and meet Ellens mother. Have a wonderful summer holiday wherever you spend it.Love Sharon Sharon@Sooke 28 Jul 2010 12:10:15 PDT That IS great news about no more bull fights in Barcelona/Cataluna, it's a first step! When I saw the video of the whale jumping on that boat the newsreader said the boat had been harassing the whale by coming too close, so maybe this was a way for the whale to say "get the heck out of my space!". He also said the people on the boat might get fined for harassing the whale. Norma@The Netherlands 28 Jul 2010 08:38:53 PDT good news,for 2012 ,no more toro kills in arena in catalogna barcelona area. It's small but already good. Sorry link in french only. http://fr.news.yahoo.com/4/20100728/tts-espagne-catalogne-corridas-tp-ca02f96.html Nico's@Free Corky,Free Lolita 28 Jul 2010 08:09:40 PDT regarding the whale video,would think it is a southern right whale. Would think looks unreal my opinion, but I'm not saying that I'm right. However, if real, very uncommun, maybe the first whale ever jumping on a boat.A little strange.Thanks for all the posts Nico's@Free Corky,Free Lolita 28 Jul 2010 07:50:51 PDT Hi EJ, I posted this video not too long ago, though not from YouTube but from a news website (can't remember which one!). And as far as I remember (and can see) this is NOT an orca! :) I do believe the footage is real, especially when they showed it on that newswebsite.

Have a great day all! Sandy@Paris, Ontario 27 Jul 2010 08:55:06 PDT Until around 3pm my time I had sound and had been enjoying calls all day!! Just to make you all envious, LOL! :) But since 3pm I'm audioless too. Norma@The Netherlands 27 Jul 2010 08:42:05 PDT Oh Kathy, I hope you repair well and quickly! No sound for me either at the moment Sandy - what are you doing correctly in Scotland then Allan? :))) Loved the wonderful calls yesterday and greedily hoping for more today. Sally@London 27 Jul 2010 08:31:50 PDT Home from the hospital whwere they tried to repair my shattered wrist, so looks like I'll have lots of time to listen to the whales now.
