Pelicans always remind me of B-52s in flight. They look too big to stay up in the air but somehow they manage it.

Now that is a study hall.
I never get tired of pelcans either. In Cedar Key they land on your boat as you return to harbor to beg a snack.

You are a sponge for information that’s incredibly important. I’m jealous that you have pelicans eyeing you up… I heard on radio news this week that mannatees are no longer an endangered species and are reproducing like gangbusters!

Hey, Vicki, sounds like the Snarl gets an attitude like my snarly Gina. Yep, I’d get tipsy on a beer while studying and throw jelly beans in a heartbeat. Life is too short to be so very serious.

You bad, bad girls.
I’ve never gotten tipsy with my Mom, but I bet the scene would be similar to yours and the Snarl’s.

Pelicans are my absolute favorite water bird. As you said, they are indeed clowns. Three weeks? You’ll be gone when I get back. How am I supposed to treat you to shrimp. I owe you.

I love that you think of those pelicans as *garden variety*!

My suspicions regarding our Vicki being an overachiever proved to be correct!

The story of California Condor #412 might make a good chick flick.

Come Friday night, I’ll be watching The Fishes marathon. May I send a photo taken by my Wesley? He spent the last 3 days at the Olympic Park Institute. We’re Birkenstocked Burkeans here.

My ex was drunk at the movies… Top Gun, actually… and he started throwing M&M’s… I was mortified! Now you tell me about potential food fights, hmmm… am I going to have to come down there? (wink)

The Pelican Chorus
by Edward Lear

King and Queen of the Pelicans we;
No other Birds so grand we see!
None but we have feet like fins!
With lovely leathery throats and chins!
Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee!
We think no Birds so happy as we!
Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill!
We think so then, and we thought so still!

Your study hall sounds like me when I decide to amuse myself or others. I get more like that on coffee than I do on beer though. I’m already kind of hyper, so beer calms me down whereas caffeine…Hope the test goes well and wish I had been able to take a photo of the rainbow. Very symbolic, I thought.

I don’t got many “scenics” — maybe one which I will send you.
