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.


Morning !! Look at all the ducks in the canal
Good morning!
Good morning Ardyth.😊
Nice capture of all the ducks.
😊🦆🦆🦆🦆
Good morning! Thinking, should it be coffee, tea or hot
chocolate this morning? Decisions are never easy. 🙂
Good morning Angelin
Weather is so cold for so many. I would pick hot chocolate right now.
Seems we both have heart issues. No heart attack for me…..AFIB and CHF.
EKG yesterday shows I am in AFIB now. Going for out patient procedure tomorrow.
IV infusion to help with fluid retention. I am very weak and have breathing problems.
Please keep me in your prayers. 🙏
I certainly will, TEA. Know your physical strength is suffering
and hope the IV infusion helps, bet you have great inner strength
so keep that up. We find out what we are made of and no doubt
you have what it takes to carry on one day at a time. Will be thinking
of you tomorrow. Blessings, TEA.

Hello Tea ! Sorry,,,I’m so sorry you’re feeling bad, maybe these infusions will help you.I will pray for you🙏🏻🙏🏻😘

Good morning TEA
You ARE in my prayers.
I am glad you still come by to post ♥
💗
Thank you, Stasia. This is crazy, I can’t swallow pills unless
it’s with chocolate milk. I try and be good and use low fat. :)
good idea😊
And why are some pills so huge! Hippo would have
problems swallowing those. 🙂
I also have problems with swallowing more than once
me too unless they are small
🙂
I cant swallow pills unless i drink from bottled water…..I cant use a glass…..lol
😀
Good morning
Coffee for me.
Good morning all ! Have a nice day !🙂
Good morning Stasia.🤗

Good morning Tea ! You too !!! 😘

Bundle up, Deborah! Have a good night.

Good morning everyone ❄
Winter storm gone, but all the snow remains.
We got 6″ of snow and sleet here in PA.
Snow is like a block of ice…..can’t be removed. 😔
Hope you are all safe and have power. ttfn
Good morning I’m glad your winter storm is gone, sorry about the block of ice snow that can’t be removed .I hope you don’t have to go anywhere today😘
Hello Ardyth.😍 Storm is gone but it will take a long time for most states to recover. Our doctors office and schools are closed today. We will be home sweet home all day. I do have cardiologist appointment tomorrow.🙄
Good morning! Sorry the snow is frozen. Is the sun
coming out today? It’s beginning to melt here but
will be very cold tonight. Very little snow, mostly sleet.
Never lost power. Your seeing a cardiologist perked
up the ears. I am also under the care of one. Hope
your appointment goes well and be super careful
tomorrow. 😘
Angelin I have CHF that is progressing.😪
Sorry to hear that, TEA. Managing heart disease is
tough. Did you have a heart attack? We are sisters
in CHF. Diagnosed back in 2022 after a heart attack.
Two stents. I’m thinking of you and wish you the best,
from one heart friend to another.
💗
Hello Tea !😘 I’m sorry about these ice blocks, a dangerous phenomenon. Be safe ! Hugs !!!
💗
Good morning everyone ! have a nice Sunday…🥰
Hello Stasia. Pretty teacup.
We have 6 inches of snow and now sleet.
Hello Tea ! It’s going to be slippery😏 Not good…Take care💕
🤗
Good morning everyone. 😊
Wow…..-21 degrees at canal. I guess I can’t complain at 11° here in PA
We are expecting 8-12 inches of snow, sleet and ice into Monday morning.
Everyone be safe and prepared with the approaching storm.
Good morning! That’s a cutie snowman.
That’s a big total. Think of the spring thaw.
Storm is not expected here until evening.
Hello Tea !😘 have a good day ….Take care of yourself💗 Beautiful picture👌
