Stuck on a Plane, Beached Whale

It's been a while since I was able to post. In other words, sometimes the news that happens and the real life that happens make it too difficult to post about it.

Making headlines today, if you turn on CNN, are a series of stories that happened over the weekend. One is a story of the passengers who slept all night on a plane while it sat in Rochester, MN over the weekend. The other is a story about a beached whale in Florida that people are desperately trying to save a beached whale and it's baby. Unfortunately, as I write this it appears its too late for the mother whale.
