elsewhere I posted a video of Skittle the otter in the Alaska SeaLife Center. he was doing well and all set up for his move to the Bronx aquarium later this summer
sadly, Skittle drowned yesterday in a freak accident: he apparently removed a block over a drain, got stuck and drowned.
here's a few pics from our visit to the Center last week
hope there are plenty of fish on the other side, little dude.

in other news - if you want a postcard from Alaska, it is not too late: please PM or email me your address.
the weather is rainy the next couple of days, the ideal time to stay in and write postcards. so here be the official call:
if you'd like a postcard from Alaska, please send me a PM or email (mariserATgmailDOTcom) saying so. please to include your postal address. thanks. you should get the postcard in a week or two. be fun to see if it gets to Canajans sooner.
'til then, I leave you with the gymnastic stylings of Skittle the otter, current resident of the Alaska SeaLife Center
went to Fourth of July (aka Independence (aka FOJ)) beach. 'twas lovely. deserted. the dogs got to run and run and run
the water was shimmering
mountains, mountains, everywhere
rocks and pebbles everywhere
bye for now
entire set here
on my way to the fiftieth state. will check in later, with pictures.
