Now, here's something you don't see every day!
A couple of days ago, a sperm whale washed up on the beach about ten miles north of here. This is the 4th beached whale I've seen, and is the only sperm whale I've seen, and is definitely the biggest I've seen. The second photo shows how close it is to the Peter Iredale, also known as "The Shipwreck".
I found out about it yesterday after it was already dark, so I planned on taking photos first thing in the morning, but high tide was at 7:30, so I waited until this afternoon. There were a bunch of marine biologists all doing their thing.
One mistake I made was walking on the down-wind side of it. I almost lost my lunch, and that would have been extremely embarrassing in front of everyone who was there! I had forgotten just how powerful that stench is!

RobertJ, remember this from south of you in Florence?
I found it filed under "not thinking things through".

We had an Orca wash up last week at my favorite beach hang out. They said it was the first one that ever washed up on a Florida beach.
I've watched Right Whales from the beach, but never an Orca.
Not my pictures!

I'd like to have been a fly on the wall when the guy explained to his insurance agent how his car got trashed. Would have been good material for a Bob Newhart monologue.

I was drinking coffee at a Gas Station - Convenience Store.
Then I see it. Please stop here!
He pulled up to the pumps and I get my Nikon and moved in for a closer look.
Fantastic Model A! How bout that Trunk?
And it’s got the Miller overhead Cam Engine.

This is a shot I took of a curious crow looking down at our outdoors Thanksgiving gathering in Prescott, Arizona in 2017. The fact that I was drinking a tumbler of Old Crow and branch at the time struck me as a real coincidence.
