Not necessarily NEWS, but fun! A gray whale took some tourists in a whale watching boat for a two hour ride! From Youtube: Occurred on March 8, 2022 / Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, Mexico "I played with this gray whale in her breeding/mating lagoon in Guerrero Negro Mexico (Baja) for over 2 hours. She was having so much fun coming to us all for pets and kisses. Twice she lifted our boat gently onto her back and swam away with us. She went fast enough to make a wake through my fingers. I’ve been there many times and this never happens! Extremely rare occurrence. In the Part 2 video, she turned to look at me a few times and we had a soul to soul experience between two mammals. She waves at me with her pectoral fin as she lets our boat go. Almost touching my hand. She was double the size of our boat and weighed an estimate of 30 tons."

Sorry Guys but I have disconnected for public viewing the camera which looks into the garden. This on the instruction of Wifey as she wants privacy in the garden and doesn’t want to think people are looking at her. Fair enough I suppose. ........

That humididity is a killer! Glad it dropped a few points today. Gee... we also get that high in summer here.
Today in La Paz, the city is preparing for the upcoming celebration of 487 years since being founded. It was actually a village before that, but to European eyes the inhabitants were not humans. So that didn't count. First visit here Cortez stole all the chief's pearls. The largest one of which now grace's Elizabeth the Second's Crown of State, that huge thing she wears once in a while. Stolen from La Paz. After murdering the natives and stealing their pearls, they named the place 'peace.' Ironic if you ask me. Anyway... back to today... Looking forward to another sunny and warm day! The tide rses and falls... The air is a bit nasty this morning, but look below at how bad it is in the UK this morning.
Have you read John Steinbeck's novel, "The Pearl" ? A good picture of life as it was not so long ago... They ended up overfishing the oysters so badly they disappeared. Now they are reseeding the old oyster beds and starting up an industry again with cultivation techniques from the Japanese. Seems people like to eat them also, I don't know why.
Industry tends to do that to nature ...sad really I know just in my short life span the lack of respect of the earth seemed to get carried away with convenience ..lately though it is refreshing to see almost every generation taking an interest in preserving the earth
