Going no mail for awhile...

A whale diving.

I'm going "no mail" for awhile. Having more leg surgery. :-{

In the meanwhile, I'm posting a couple of photos from the whale watch at Cape Cod last month.


The photo above is of humpback whales feeding on fish they've forced into a circle of bubbles. The whales then close their mouths and the water is forced through the baleen that resemble fringed curtains--plainly seen in this photo--with the fish remaining in the mouth.

I'll talk to y'all soon.

July already?

It's July already? Where did May and June go? Seems like the weather was Fall-like during those months, but now July is coming in like a furnace blast.

Talking of furnace blasts, the Sands Casino opened last month in nearby Bethlehem, PA. Built on the property of the now-defunct Bethlehem Steel, the casino's design incorporates the exposed steel beams over the casino floor and the names of its bar and lounge - Molten and Coil. A massive crane emblazoned with the Sands insignia defines the casino's entryway.
