Whales: Killer whales, in the neighbourhood….

How do they know that Granny, the killer whale in J pod in the San Juan Islands who is estimated to be 103 years old is that old? Here is Monika’s tribute post to her when she turned 100 that explains that (which is cool) as well as offering insight why we all love her so….thanks, Monika!

Jpod has returned this past week, including 103-year-old Granny (next time you got to Sea World & they say orcas live to be around 30 years old, you can tell them they do better in the open sea, swimming 75 miles a day, not 75 feet in a cement pond.)

Thought for the day…


"When you commit yourself to the bodhisattva path, the path of helping others, you feel as if you have done it before and you have been doing it all along. It is like living up to your inheritance, or taking over your parents’ business. You feel that there is something quite natural and right about it."
-- Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
