Migraines mess with your mind and make thought convoluted

Beyond the reach of
Ibuprofin, Imitrix,
I can't think of a

five syllable line
that doesn't require tele-
pathy on the part

of the poor reader
to express just how bored I
am of this headache.

The Big Bang Theory--
even two episodes--were
not enough to end

it.

But on the bright side:
I saw these tonight in the harbor: great blue heron, some other smaller kind of heron (maybe a black-crowned night heron), an anchovy on its way to becoming more heron, mackerel attempting to not become harbor seal, and of course several harbor seals, then at least three dolphins, hundreds of gulls, and one otter.

All lit by a creamy pink and gold sunset. And the restaurant lights.

It's a good thing that almost no one reads these posts. I will continue to hold that it is better to write than to not write, but that doesn't mean that what is written deserves to be read.

Even still, it was an unexpectedly amazingly wildlife-filled evening. I was able to almost forget about my headache for minutes at a time. It still hurt; I just didn't have to think about it.

Juvenal Black-Crowned Night Heron, which I think is what we saw.








What it may look like as an adult.

And who doesn't need a picture of a Great Blue Heron?

I've never really thought of herons as salt water birds, but apparently many species can be found in fresh and brackish and salt water.



And really, isn't that enough for tonight?
