No, it means it was an evil whale. This is why "sinister" is Latin for left.

"Saw a Coyote, or more likely Coywolf the size of my freaking pointer (50+lbs) hanging out at the horsebarn and not terribly scared of me or my dogs. The land is crawling with coyotes and the barn owner usually ignores them since they keep a very low profile. This one has been getting too close to the animals and domestic dogs. It will be gotten rid of soon."
One of the reasons .223 was invented.

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -
.222 very common here a couple of decades ago. .223 only gained popularity over it the last 20 odd years largely due to the cheapness of ex military ammo.
Pro roo shooters mainly use .243 and sometimes .270.Resident Australian, proving being a grumpy old man is not just an American trait. -

OMO,
DNA analysis has shown that there are indeed three distinct species of Right Whale (Souther, Northern, and Pacific). So if a Southern Right Whale migrated north, it would be a lost Southern Right Whale“Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
the saddest are these, 'It might have been.”

I wish I had been able to get a photo of the whitetail buck walking along the side of I-95 today, biggest antlers I've ever seen. Looked like it was trying to be an Elk or something.Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

On Thanksgiving Day I was at an extended family reunion for dinner. We were eating at the T-Day buffet at the Alumni House on the campus of North Carolina State Univ, Raleigh. It is a beautiful facility on their new park-like campus. Behind the building is a large pond surrounded by trees. While mingling with all the relatives before dinner, a big Bald Eagle lands on the branch of a tree at the edge of the pond. He posed for pictures for quite a long time. I see Eagles at home occasionally but rarely get this good of a picture.

Had a good one today. We hiked up to the overlook on the Pyramid Point Trail at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (only 0.6 miles from the parking lot). From the end of the trail you are a few hundred feet above Lake Michigan looking straight down the face of a dune into the lake. The Manitou Islands are off on the horizon. Then we heard a loud shrill chatter a saw a Bald Eagle soaring over the beach a couple of hundred below us. We have had quite a few eagle sightings recently but how often do you get to see one from above?

That looks a lot like my house, except their shingles are in a lot better shape. Before next summer I am going to have to hire someone to replace our roof. Just had a 50 year old Red Oak tree cut down this week that was hanging over the fireplace and roof. Hated to do it, but would have hated even more a limb falling on the house.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

On a side note, every time
I see that waving "Australia Map" graphic, I get that Amanda Palmer song "Map of Tasmania" stuck in my head. 8|Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -
