Aw, now my happiness has just thrown itself out the second story window. I'm currently freezing my jublies off at 4°C(39°F), it's also 90% humidity, not that it really matters in the cold. Your 32°C(90°F) sounds beautiful.

I'm happy right now because I've got a full subscription to Rugbyzone, which means that I just watched the Spring*Morne Steyn*boks annihilate Australia.

Finally settled my long standing grudge match with Call of Duty: World at War by selling it. I got 30 dollars from that piece of trash and I couldn't be happier. Also sold Halo 3 and Guitar Hero: Metallica, which are not terrible games but ones I just never play.

Hah, beat this Orgahs: I just rode a wild dolphin!!

I was on the Pensacola Beach, and I live in Pensacola, FL myself, swimming in the Mexican Gulf. Then a large herd began surfacing not very far from the shore. The water was about four metres deep, but reasonably quite far from the shore, as Pensacola beach has a quite gentle slope.

Excited, I swam near them, as far as the lifeguards will permit, and began observing them. They were reddish- light brown in colouration. Their heads carried bottlenoses characteristic in many varieties of dolphins. Then one surfaced very close to me, and blew fine mist in my face through his/her blowhole. He or she then U-turned away from the direction and position of the herd, and believe it or not - swam directly towards me. I touched it, and it did not respond negatively. So I actually dared to lay myself on its back, and again, it did not show signs of agitation. It swam for not more than a half of a minute (although in the excitement, it was impossible to tell time) and then it dove slowly down, leaving me on the surface. It barely noticed me.

I did not try to do anything else underwater, such as attempt to play with it, or make odd sounds (which dolphins love) as I know that dolphins play rough by our standards and will often pull your leg and hold you underwater for a bit, as part of their playing routine. And also other things, all of which are dangerous to a human like me, in water deep enough to drown in if forcefully held for some time. Similarly, I did not do anything that I read was threatening or upsetting for dolphins, such as chasing it, or flailing my arms, which they especially dislike. So I left as quickly as possible, as animals are unpredictable after all. In any case, the experience was exhilarating.

Gotta say one thing though - dolphins do not smell pleasant at all!

More likely not-too fresh fish that is close to going rotten, but not quite there yet.

Also, I am aware that while some people encourage sensible interaction with dolphins, other are opposed to it. I merely watched the closest dolphins, from what seemed to be about 10-15 metres, but one actually surfaced closer, and went out of the way to approach me, and I could not resist the temptation. The dolphins continued appearing for an hour more, and at the widest area imaginable (about half of a square kilometre), indicating they were a very large group.

Wow, that sounds like a wonderful, once in a lifetime, experience.

**Samurai Waki** · 08-15-2009, 05:20

That sounds Amazing.

Speaking of Wild Animals, I awoke this morning to a full herd (must've been thirty head or so) of Bull Elk in my front yard. Wonderful creatures, it makes me a little sick that people hunt them.
