Not everyone gets to see a monk seal up close and personal. He seemed to have a pleasant disposition and looked sweet and friendly; but the monk seal is on the endangered list and thus 'shall not be petted'. Of course, not being a 'tree hugging, over the top animal rightist', Ron didn't know this. He wouldn't hurt it for anything and he trusted it's intentions were good as well. Everyone on board the boat yelled for him to draw back from it. I'm sure if they would have minded their own business, Ron and the monk seal would be good friends today. They would probably be planning another visit.
Speaking of Ron, he was released from the hospital yesterday. He had an ITA on Saturday, but had his memory back by Monday evening. He has no damage but does not remember Saturday or Sunday. I told him it was a good thing, that he wouldn't want to know. It was not pleasant. He struggled to get out of there, but could not talk more than a few disconnected words. A friend told Ron that he had promised to loan him a few thousand. And another said he had danced up and down the halls naked. It is a good thing I was there to verify that indeed he had not.
It's great to have him back, body and mind.
