More Dead Finback Whale Photos From Halloween (Last Day Before Removal)

kim diebboll forwards-

hi joey,

here’s a few photos of the whale now that he’s resting on cape hedge beach. he’s looking rather sad and pretty beat up.  the guts  which i saw over by pebble beach yesterday, were cleaned up by the town today, so they are gone now.

i guess this is his last day, as i hear he is being removed tomorrow.

So You’ve Lived Your Whole Life Til Now Not Knowing What A Dead Finback Whale’s Guts Look Like

hi joey,

thanks so much for your great blog. i always enjoy reading it.

i went for my morning walk today to see what happened after sandy hit last night. i smelled something foul and came across parts of the whale washed ashore  on the road which runs along pebble beach in rockport. i imagine parts may be showing up elsewhere as it is obviously now not a whole whale.

i thought other readers would be interested.

keep your eyes open!

i don’t know if this is the best way to share photos? please let me know if there is another way.

thanks, kim diebboll

Guest Post From The Bean: Skitter The Hamster

I got Skitter the hamster at the pet store.  He did not live long.  He only lived three months but I enjoyed his life in his cage.

We buried him when he died.

Now I will tell you about when he snuck out of his cage for one week.

We found him a week later in the vacuum cleaner.

We did not tell Dad because he would get mad.  My mom saran wrapped his cage and stuck the vacuum cleaner inside and then my grandfather took some net and wrapped it around skitter’s cage.

The end.

My son the barbecue expert without fail leaves an empty Heineken on the barbecue. I woke up to this devastation this morning.  How will I break the news? We will get a FEMA loan and I promise-  We will rebuild.
