Not a “giant” squid – pretty big, but not a giant. Giants run 4 meters, not including the tentacles.

Didn’t anybody notice that the news story said there were idiots who attempted to drag these beasts back into the ocean?
Large squid like these have been known to attack skin divers in the Gulf of California. They are carnivores and large enough to take on any adult who is foolish enough to get within reach of their TENticles (count them, 10). And the suckers are barbed. Once they make the grab, you get loose only if they wish to let you go.

Up heya in the elitist northeast we’re experiencing wild wet weatha. Well, the sun has been shining for the past 4 days – for the first time since late May! Jim Collins is right – we woke up to temps in the 40s for the past few mornings. I rather like this kind of weather – cool nights and mornings, bright sun, light breeze, temps in the low 80s.

We actually had a record low North of Pittsburgh last night. 49 degrees in July. Of course it happens 2 days after I take the furnace apart for cleaning.

“Giant” squid? That seagull is about to swallow one whole. You all are getting kind of timorous out there in California, aren’t you?

Earthquakes? Everyone knows it was evil Navy sonars that caused these gentle giants to beach themselves.
