Wow, another magical week in Rich & Jackie land.

Jackie is off to work and I am tasked with installing a drip system in the yard today. Don't worry I am not going to bore you with details. We are also getting ready for our trip to Kings Canyon/Sequoia on Saturday.

Meanwhile, when we went to Monterey earlier this year we stopped at Elephant Seal Beach near San Simeon to check out why all the cars where packed into a parking lot. Now we know. The beach was full of Elephant seals. These things get to be 5000lbs when full grown. If you approach them they will hurt you. This is where they come to breed. If one of the seal pups gets separated from its mother it will die, because each mom will only suckle its own pup.

I am trying to upload a short movie of the seals using their flippers to scoop sand on their backs to keep cool.

The beach was covered with these seals. The guide told us they come every year. While we were there one of the young males tried to engage one of the females and the big bull went over and bit him. These things our huge and ugly.

Its interesting how I am uploading the video. We have 2 laptops and the one I am using this morning is Jackies and I am accessing the file on my laptop using WIFI. This is the most amazing technology.

I changed the layout of the blog a little bit, I hope you like it. I am trying to attract followers. So if you know anyone that might be interested in our travels ask them to follow us by email.

Till tomorrow.
