...Shays in Connecticut already, Kay Hagan in North Carolina (bye bye Liddy),  Mitch McConnell in Kentucky ...  buh bye.  Same to Saxby Chambliss (could revenge be so sweet?).   And the local races: Dan Seals, Daniel Biss, Dan Kotowski, Debbie Halvorsen, Scott Harper, Bill Foster, Anita Alvarez (boy is Peraica a total loon) ....  please Dans, win.  I want so much for Dan Biss to win: it accomplishes two...

... at about 1 o'clock. It just seems so wrong and strange to see both together, but there they were.. And THEN, I just happened to look over the ledge to the coast, and there they were, DOZENS OF SEALS! JUST LAYING THERE!!! So we got out and immediately started snapping pics. Now if we can just see a penguin, we'll be happy campers.. I think I saw a dolphin or two out in the water, but Navarre...

...a lovely speed boat/aqua taxi which afforded us a round trip around the whole of the park.  We had to stop and drop off/pick up lots of hikers at various beaches, but it was the SHIT!!! We saw seals.  YEAH!  SEALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Also, there was a penguin swimming along, but the guide saw him, pointed him out, and he quickly disappeared underwater.  Bummer.  We never actually saw him.  BUT WE...

The male selkie's goal is to get on shore and knock up a human girl at least once in their life. Their whole short childhood is spent training for this, and many succeed. Sometimes, however, the plan backfires...skins, selkies look just like any normal seal. They eat fish and enjoy long naps in the sun. They are quite smarter than the average seal though, and seldom end up captured or slain by fishermen

...to a study he's mocked for years of whether grizzlies need to keep their status as an endangered species. Palin, meanwhile, has requested $3.2 million to be spent in part researching the "genetics of harbor seals," in one of the state’s many requests for federal funding of research into Alaska’s fauna." In all fairness to Governor Palin, harbor seals are significantly cuter than grizzly bears.

... Still, I was quite happy with the sighting and with the views of the bird through the scope. Next we went to Port George, where eiders are reported to be present all year round. However, it was seals we had come to see, and we were not disappointed. We saw several out in the water, appearing solely as large, grey shiny heads emerging above the surface.

Just finished the second of two stuffed seals. I'll put pictures up on my website soon, probably by next weekend. Like the calico cat, these took longer than anticipated. Despite that, I could probably have made one start to finish for the demo, but it's just as well I didn't try. They're almost all straight sewing, which would have been quite boring to watch. If there's ever a next time, I think...

...one on Horse Isle and decided that I will breed those instead.  I'm still breeding Greyhounds though and also have a new account with Bull Terriers. Leon started a special program with Easter Seals that is really helping him.  This Christmas when their mailings come, give. Since I've been online with the dragons and horses and dogs I haven't kept up with anything.  I have 3 weeks of America's...

Forwarded by a friend of mine: Pack of dogs tear apart baby seals NZPA | Thursday, 04 September 2008 A hunt is under way for a pack of dogs that savaged and ate alive 19 seal pups in two attacks on a Far North beach. Jonathan Maxwell, Department of Conservation Kaitaia manager, said his staff had checked the seals at Shipwreck Bay, Ahipara, just an hour before the first reported attack last...

Need Antarctic Data? Send In The Seals Southern elephant seals fitted with battery-powered sensors have mapped a vast new territory for scientists studying climate change in Antarctic waters. The seals, sporting high-tech satellite headgear, have provided the first information on conditions under Southern Ocean sea ice, helping an international research team track seasonal changes in ice formation...
