The man, the dog and the sea
An Australian sailor who spent months adrift in the Pacific Ocean alongside his beloved dog has recounted his remarkable tale of surviving on raw fish and rainwater after finally making it safely back to dry land.
Timothy Lyndsay Shaddock began his odyssey in May with his loyal companion Bella in tow, with the goal of sailing from the Sea of Cortes, also known as the Gulf of California, to French Polynesia more than 3,000 miles away. His small catamaran was damaged just weeks later in a storm, leaving Shaddock and Bella adrift in a harsh and unpredictable ocean with little hope of rescue. The sailor says he survived by fishing and eating "a lot of tuna sushi." Shaddock's health took a turn for the worse, but luckily the pair were picked up by a Mexican tuna trawler that happened to spot their stricken vessel in the vast waters. “Thank God for putting us in the path of a man who could have died,” Antonio Suarez, the owner of Grupomar, the company that owns the tuna boat, told reporters. “It is a day of happiness because we ended up on an adventure to save an adventurer who had many more problems than we did.”
Two kinds of Costco
Two miles from my house is the older, smaller Tustin Costco. Four miles from my house is the newer, much larger Costco-on-steroids at the District. The main difference is the Tustin Costco doesn't have rotisserie chicken! I usually go to the former, today I went to the latter by necessity. It took ten minutes to drive there, and fifteen plus to find a parking spot. That parking lot is huge and still not big enough for all the Costco-ite's cars!
Just sayin'.

That's such an excellent collage, Jacki. Only the reason for it is so sad.
I also enjoyed both stories, the photo of this cute bird and the funny smilies, especially the last one.
Jacki, I'm already excited about blog #4000. What a number! You really are the greatest.
Thank you dear ELenor, I hope you are having a good week? Is it still so hot?
All I want to do is watch you create your digital collages. They always are fantastic. This one sure is! :-)
Thanks, John. I will be bringing my laptop to LV, actually I take it wherever I go?
