Dolphins and Whales

We nearly reached 60 degrees yesterday, and hit the mid 60s today. Lovey and Nedi are enjoying the warm weather, as are Tugger and Sasquatch. I finally grabbed my reserved book from the library, but am 2/3 of the way through another book. I plan on finishing the first one and then reading Ms. Prescott's novel.
  The two Boulder police officers, Samuel Carter and Brent Curnow, arrested for the killing of the Mapleton Hill elk, have resigned, effective immediately from the Boulder Police Department. They face 9 counts each; 3 felonies and 6 misdemeanors. The Fish and Wildlife office is still investigating on their end; and so is the Boulder Sheriff's Office, checking into the assistance of an on-duty deputy the night of the shooting.
  I was delighted to see in the news today that a pod of sperm whales off the Azores have apparently adopted a bottle nose dolphin that suffers from a spinal condition. Sperm whales swim slowly and generally ignore dolphins; dolphins usually pick at, tease and haze whale calves. This dolphin has a partial S curvature of the spine, and cannot swim quickly. Observers and divers watched the pod of whales interact with the dolphin for a period of 8 days. The dolphin nuzzled the whales, and the whales nuzzled the dolphin... What a wonderful world! .... And, off Hawaii, a scuba instructor and dive leader was approached by a lone dolphin, who was impaled on a fishing hook and had monofiliment line wrapped around its; nose, head, flippers and dorsal fin. The diver removed the hook and started cutting away the line. The dolphin swam to the surface, got another breath of air, and returned for the diver to finish removing the line. They had 8 minutes of interaction... and it was filmed... I wish I had been there!
