Kudos to Casey and Emma on their presentations in 'Grease'. It sounds like a very educational and creative two-week camp with such a big treat for the families at the end. Do the girls want to attend another day camp for theatre next year, Carole? What a great way to give them lots of self-confidence. :><:

Ozzie, I hope you had a really nice time on your date.

Jill, thanks for showing us one of the other colourful art designs at a Trader Joe's.

Otterly Soaked
Photos taken yesterday by Lolls Marshall at the UK's Blackpool Zoo turn up the dial on one of the most coveted ZooBorns in our lineup: the baby Asian Small-clawed Otter. It might come as a surprise but otter pups don't know how to swim at birth, so mom must pay careful attention to each pup, training it for the aquatic life ahead. These little guys have clearly taken their first plunge although their expressions suggest that they have mixed feelings about being wet.

Man’s Place in the Animal World by Mark Twain
Collen Patrick Goudreau

An outspoken advocate for animals, Mark Twain publicly came out against such abuses as bullfighting and vivisection, and animals were a part of his writing from the first story that earned him renown ("The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County") to the published and unpublished pieces he wrote up until his death in 1910. In addition to his short story, "A Dog's Tale," read back in July 2009, I've taken great delight in Twain's essays, letters, and other short stories also dedicated to animals and his conclusion that they are superior to humans - evidenced in today's essay: The essay I’m going to read, “Man’s Place in the Animal World” is similar in content to “Letters from a Dog to Another Dog Explaining and Accounting for Man, though it is decidedly lighter in tone, as evident by the full title: “Letters from a Dog to Another Dog Explaining and Accounting for Man by Author, Newfoundland Smith. Translated from the Original Doggerel by M.T.”

Since you posted about the otters Topa here is a very cute video of sea otters at the Vancouver Aquarium that is guaranteed to make you smile :D

Sea Otters Holding Hands (1:41)

We had a serious thunderstorm last night with some golf ball sized hail along with lots of the marble sized pellets. We haven't gone out to check if the car was damaged yet but neighbors were scrambling to get their vehicles under cover in a torrential downpour :o One good thing, no watering of the plants or grass required :P

Artsy, Thank you for the otter video . :D
I loved it at the end where they separated for a bit and then the older one floated back over and
re-grabbed the hand of the sleeping one. So sweet <3

What wonderful photos and graphics to start the day.

Cheryl - Casey and Emma will attend the drama school during the year, I think it's a 2 month program. Casey was really shy and introverted at one time and the theatre school has changed her completely. She now enjoys being a "star" and loves it when she has a bigger role. Emma on the other hand has always been a diva and loves performing :D

Topa - :}^ Zoey, I know you had a good time at Camp Topa.

Only :chk: right today, missed the cat one.

I love Trader Joe's, wish we had them in Canada. Great artwork displayed there. Soon as we arrive in NY, DH and I head to TJ's and fill up a few of their shopping bags with goodies to take home.

Aww, what a cute Otter video. :wub: Thanks Penny. :D

Our local indigenous tribe, the Tongva, are facing a new and outrageous threat to one of their last remaining sacred sites, Kuruvungna, a natural spring located on the border of Santa Monica and West Los Angeles. It was the site of their biggest village and where Portola and his Conquistadors camped on their quests. :'( :angry: Trees they planted still grow there. The tribe has never gotten the Federal recognition necessary to help save their traditional sites, probably at least partially due to the fact they were the indigenous tribe of the Los Angeles basin and the land is way too valuable to give them what they should be entitled to. They're the Chumash's "poor relations" who had just an advanced cosmology and spirituality. Their petroglyph art was destroyed, unlike the Chumash, and their place in history was all but wiped out. We go to their annual "Before Columbus Day" and know their history well. Catalina was their idyllic isiand paradise where they mined the steatite, a stone used in sacred objects and stone bowls and only found on Catalina. It was their main trading commodity.

Kuruvungna

Now UCLA wants to develop the land adjacent to the small plot where their sacred springs is located, which is on the grounds of a High School and that they have to lease access to from the government! Now it's facing this threat and will probably be powerless to defend against it. :( Spreading the word is about all that can be done. Their next Before Columbus Day is September 25. The spring was called the "Tears of Saint Monica". We have bottles of it and water from other sacred sites that we use for meditations and protection. The tribe's chief told us it "just runs out into the gutter so take as much as you want".

Two weeks after Ed moved here a biophysically authenticated Crop Circle pictogram appeared at Laguna Canyon, California that we researched and discovered was made up of Tongva petroglyph symbols and on site investigation by us revealed no sign of human intervention. This is our report on it. One of our first joint projects after we married in Avalon in September 1995. :wub:
