My mate Ian Musgrave, Astroblogger and expert in several fields of science, and his lovely family, are up visiting rellies in Queensland from the arid wasteland that is Adelaide. We all went on a bushwalk and while we were eating apples at the top of the cliff, we saw a couple of dolphins (bottlenose, I think), a mother and calf. Way cool...

Since I live in a country where I can not have a trophy wife, were I so inclined, I can only weep. However, this urban dweller does live a reasonably short ride away from locations where people can watch migrating gray whales; one of which is used for the "official" census.
