About 110k total, I don’t think a cut is needed. Feel free to let me know if someone wants one.

I was collecting accumulated deodorant cans (I seem to just toss them under the sink when empty, a slovenly habit I’m trying to kick. Newt was sitting on the commode so patiently watching, I had to take a picture. on the top of the tank there is potty-reading… currently You Only Live Twice, and a couple of sampler comic books picked up free at the ACC Expo.

Once I’d gotten the camera, I realized that it was probably a good morning to look for manatees. I knew the best place to go… I’d seen them there a few times before. The New River in Fort Lauderdale, right over the Haunted Tunnel.

I got there, and it was very quiet, a good sign. The less traffic, the easier it’d be to spot them on the water.

A tree that I’m fond of… I didn’t capture the feel from this angle, but it’s alternately spooky and friendly. There’s a definite vibe about it. They put planks up to protect it from the high winds, recently…those weren’t there last time.

Brisk morning…. the river patch I went to must’ve been too chilly for the manatees. I’ll return later to try again. I did find some little skinny fish swimming around. I was partial to the tag-along blue guy tooling about. No crabs out wandering, either.

I hope you had a good morning too, Dear Journal!
