Today is Bastille Day. We celebrated by going outside in the afternoon when the keeper got home. She had gone out with a friend to run a few errands and have lunch at the Harborside. The sun came out as they were leaving. She also saw a collection of old washing machines and appliances...fascinating that they had to hand crank the agitator...no wonder that you had to devote a whole day to doing laundry. 
We also read a fabulous article about whales in the NYT magazine this afternoon...whales as highly intelligent creatures watching us. The story told about the team that freed one of the gray whales from a tangled fishing net and the whale ended up swimming circles around them watching them and splashing them after very joyfully. It also talked about how the undersea sonar weapon testing is causing death, brain bleeds, and horrible destruction to their inner ears.
Our keeper let us watch Revolutionary Road with her later tonight. It was a little depressing, but Kate Winslett and Leonardo de Caprio were good. We would opt for Harry Potter, if left to ourselves.
