Female whalemail
frau klugscheisser, 18:55h
If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab raps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped round her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the FarraloneIslands (outside the Golden Gate) 
and adioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to have her was to dive in and untangle her. A very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. 
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed gently around-she thanked them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
May you, and all those you love,
be so blessed and fortunate
to be surrounded by people
who will help you get untangled
from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy
of giving and receiving gratitude.
I pass this on to you, my friend, in the same spirit.

Live in California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Ich Rührkeks finde das nur schön, auch wenn es tatsächlich äußerst amerikanisch ist.
Seien sie gern wieder in sentimentaler Stimmung. Da gehe ich mit.
