63. I watched a pod of dolphins

Mon May 20, 2024, 08:05 AM

May 20

as one gave birth to a pup and the rest taught it to swim. It was the only time my father was on one of my boats and the only time he ever saw something like that and he was a U.S. Navy man in WW2. The dolphin show lasted about an hour.

I also saw the notes played by Carlos Santana as they came off his guitar in Anchorage Alaska Sports Arena in colors of gold and blue.
