Yesterday, I got to see Virgil, and he returns all greetings. The drive was uneventful both directions. We played Scrabble – or I guess I should start saying we played with a Scrabble set, because the object of our playing was not to win but to use all the letters, which requires cooperation. We succeeded three times and started a fourth but did not have time to get very far. The last unfinished game, I picked up the Q, the X, and the Z all in the first 7 letters I picked up. I could not have done that ifI had tried. I managed to play the third just as it was time for us to pack it up, which I’d call an accomplishment.

The Nib (Levi Hastings) – Overfishing, pollution, and urban development are causing the Resident Orca population in the Pacific Northwest to plummet.
Quote – In summer 2018, a female orca known as Tahlequa (J35) made national headlines when she traveled over 1,000 milies through the waters of the Pacific Northwest while dragging the lifeless body of her stillborn calf. She refused to abandon her baby for 17 days. Later that season, scientists and locals watched helplessly as the malnourished four-year-old juvenile known as Scarlet (J50) slowly starved and eventually disappeared, never to resurface.
