[Prudence]

It was a beautiful day today. I recall reading somewhere that we've had less rain this month than we did last July. Apparently we shipped all our rain to CA. That's what you get for shipping your lousy drivers north!

Today we went to the Aquarium. I haven't been in ages. My friend and co-worker volunteers there and we got to hear her do her spiels on harbor seals, northern fur seals, and sea otters. One of the northern fur seals is 24 and the oldest one in captivity anywhere. She's blind and spends lots of time sort of standing on her head with her flippers sticking out of the water. No one knows why. We got to feel various pelts, too. Sea otter pelt is possibly the most luxurious thing I've ever felt. No wonder they're endangered.

Also rode the waterfront streetcar 'cause it's been a long time since we've done that. Stopped at Krispy Kreme on the way home for no good reason.

Boris tried escaping out the front door when I opened it. Took off down the walk and crossed in front of the garage. Now he's sitting in front of the front door crying because he wants to go have an adventure and mean mommy won't let him. It's really quite annoying. Silly feline. He keeps forgetting that he's a fraidy-cat.
