In action: Thursday

I was catching up on Doonesbury this morning, and this strip from three weeks ago tickled me, especially the last two panels….

You saw that sunrise this morning, right? The one with all the colors….lots of blues & yellows, out our window in Friday Harbor….

• I know how you are – you’re the kind of person who gets up in the middle of the night to see the meteor showers. If it’s not too cloudy this evening, that’ll be fine, since the Geminids are peaking tonight & tomorrow – here’s more, with tips about where to look.

• Do you have friends (I do) who think that going to see killer whales in captivity is cool? Well, it’s not…and here’s a little slideshow with seven reasons it’s wrong to hold orcas in captivity. Check it out.

• There’s still time to help the kids – here’s more from Libby Oswald & the Kiwanis Club:

• Debbie Sandwith says there are still about 50 spots left for the Salmon Derby (can’t believe it’s been ten years already since this started!) – here’s more:

YES ~ it is time to think about getting your boat team registered for the upcoming 10th Annual Roche Harbor Salmon Derby ~!!! To be held February 7-9, 2013 ~ which DOES NOT conflict with our Seattle Boat Show or the Super Bowl!

*In case you missed our big announcement this past spring, Roche Harbor is adding $30,000, yes you read correctly & I did not make a typo error ~ to the qualifying winning fish of 30 lbs. or more!!! $40,000 possible CASH for first place ~ SWEET!!!

What a great way to celebrate our 10th Derby, which is only possible because of all our faithful anglers who continue to participate ~ Thank you again!
