Henry the Superfan!
We broke out the Elway jersey.
Fish
The Ling in this picture is not a Ling Cod, it’s a Cobia. It’s more closely related to a Remora.
In Texas, they don’t call them Cobia though, they call them Ling. It’s a local name. It’s like the elusive Montezuma Quail birders search for in Southern Arizona. Quail hunters there call them Mearnies.
Another big Redfish (Red Drum).
To keep a Red Drum for dinner, it has to be between 20 and 28 inches. You get to keep one larger than 28 inches, but only one per year. All the other big ones have to be returned to the water as sportfish.
Windmills
Some people don’t like windmills. They disrupt the skyline. They’re a hazard to bird migration. They’re too noisy.They’re not a novelty anymore, there are windfarms everywhere, so maybe they do disrupt the skyline. They probably are a hazard to migrating birds, but so is everything else we do. At least a windmill is a moving target as opposed to a tall building with windows for birds to fly into.Anyway, we were driving past a windmill farm out on the coastal plain and decided to stop and listen to see what they sounded like up close. We took this video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUShQ3cLzboThere is a steady powerful whooshing noise of the blades going round. I probably wouldn’t want to live directly under it. Given a choice between windmills or a smokestack though, I think I’d take the windmills.
Update
8:59! I ran a sub-9 minute mile! I just squeaked under. Went to the cardiologist for a checkup. He thinks I’m awesome. (He didn’t actually say that, but I could tell that’s what he was thinking.) Judy went to the Ortho for a follow-up on her shoulder and knee. He thinks Judy is awesome.
Survey Update
We found another clock. There is one on the blood pressure cuff. The McKees win though. They have a clock on their electric self-cleaning kitty litter box.
