A second bear sighting claim has come in—said to be at about the same time last week as the first one—so I am starting to give some credence to the claim. Possibly a good-sized black bear heading north to south.

And, a turtle enjoying harbor life, alongside Lollipop.

I was going to title this posting, ""Dry Roasted" because that's what happened here today. The only relief was in the water. In spite of the heat, Norm came by and re-installed the starter motor, and when Sue and I took a little trial cruise the engine fired up every time the key was turned.

Regarding Trump: I've always known he was unqualified, but with his latest comment (threat) he is now disqualified. Self-disqualified. I've been enjoying the news lately because of a prurient interest in seeing the self-inflated poke holes in his own balloon. But now it's time for Trump to go, or be removed. There must be some way a political party can disqualify and dismiss a candidate who is obviously deranged.
