I see where @Maddow is going to have Julie K Brown on tonight. Not many reporters could be considered heroic, but she's sure one of 'em.

@12thRITS I’m so glad this small collection came into my possession. Much thanks to Denise P for buying these great albums back in the day. She took good care of her records, apart from writing her name all over them lol

I think there will be fewer whales in my life in 2026. But who knows.
I plan to return often to Monterey (cat and dog sitting for friends), and will get back on these boats whenever.
Until then, thanks for all the fish.
