First grunion observation for the Grunion Greeters of the season (for us anyway). We kept hoping the run would get stonger, but it never did; fish were only coming up on the beach in handfuls at a time. Meanwhile, I had to replace my batteries and then discovered my 1GB card was full and had to clear the thing! One lone beach escapee was all I got.

Then later I realized that I'd only uploaded the previous weeks photos to Flickr and never downloaded them to my harddrive. I can at least save them from there, but they're only half the resolution they would have been. >:( Oh well, at least they're not lost completely.

The June Gloom (yes, I know, it's only May - nevertheless) has never burned off today. I actually wore my jacket when VT and I went for a walk at lunch. Seems dark in the middle of the day. I may have to turn on my desk lights.

Everyone in the office seems subdued today as well. Or maybe it's just me, and I'm projecting on everyone else...

Not sure if the two are related. (Addendum: it probably hasn't helped that iPods are psychic, mine is playing nothing but blues, morose electronica, and did you ever notice that almost every song in O Brother, Where Art Thou? has something about death in it?)

runsamuck & I are signed up to Grunion Greet tonight at Crescent Beach. Anyone want to join us?
