What to Watch Today
- Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
- Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
- Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.

Good morning! Looks so cold there! North Carolina starting tomorrow

Thank you, TEA. It will be nice walking Miss Bree.
How’s your weather?
Still very cold here….warming up next few days.
Is Miss Bree a dog?
Good morning TEA. Yes, Bree is a dog.
Part Frenchie and Yorkie. Crazy combo I know.
🙂 Also have 4 cats. Do you have pets?
Good morning Angelin.
I am a dog lover. Always had dogs. Last dog was a Golden Retriever named Bear. Picture of Scamper a mixed breed who lived to be 16 and Bear as a puppy. Bear lived to age 10. No dogs now as my husband and I are both 81 (married 61 years in February) and homebound most of the time.
forgot picture….
Precious! Nothing says love like a dog.
Bree will be my last but somehow rescue cats
still find their way through the door. I’ll be 73 next
month. Thank you for sharing the photo, TEA.
Good memories.
oh and Happy Anniversary in case I forget in Feb to wish it.
Thank you Angelin and Happy early birthday to you.
