...The
Whale... If you read a recent
(Thursday,
December 14, 2005)
front page story of the San Francisco Chronicle, you
would have read about a female humpback whale who had
become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and
lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of
traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She
also had hundreds of yards of line rope
wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line
tugging in her mouth.
A
fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon
Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an
environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the
rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad
off, the only way to save her was to dive in and
untangle her.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around as she was thanking them. |

Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same. May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you. And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude. I pass this on to you, my friends, in the same spirit.
WOWZERS!
Thank you so much,
Sweetie-Pies!

FINALLY:
From Irene A. Mystery - ladyhawke@unforgettable.com
- 11/14/10:| "Working Dog" A salesman dropped in to see a business customer. Not a soul was in the office except a big dog emptying wastebaskets. The salesman stared at the animal, wondering if his imagination could be playing tricks on him. The dog looked up and said, 'Don't be surprised. This is just part of my job.' 'Incredible!' exclaimed the man. 'I can't believe it! Does your boss know what a prize he has in you? An animal that can talk!' 'No, no,' pleaded the dog. 'Please don't! If that man finds out I can talk, he'll make me answer the phone as well!' |
