Well now that I have the ability to make blogger posts at work I have decided to post the ones I have stored on my computer in word document form.

So a link

I guess humans aren’t the only creatures to get an itchin’ to travel and see things they haven’t seen before in environs they really aren’t made to survive in.

So what do you do when you are driving through the desert and you see a sea lion crossing the road? Well the first thing I’d do is check to see if I hallucinating, then like any reasonable citizen I’d call the highway patrol because obviously the sea lion must be in violation of some traffic laws for crossing where there was no marked crosswalk.

Seriously though they found a sea lion (that weighs 300 lbs) 65 miles inland from the coast, it was uninjured and moving on its own and definitely as you can see from the pictures not particularly happy having its travels interrupted by such cretins.

Los Banos, CA is approximately halfway between the coast and Yosemite national park. Yosemite has hot springs. Hrm…. Monterey Bay is very very cold (about 48 degrees surface temperature).

Now of interest is that if one subscribes to some evolutionary theories, certain fish (similar to mud skippers and other air breathing fish) crawled out of the ocean and eventually made the transition to land organisms. Much later down the road once mammals evolved some started swimming in the water to catch fish and eventually evolved into misc. marine mammals that we know today. Well maybe this is the next change; going back to the land.
