  1. Good one. Must admit I didn’t get it, even after my coffee.

  2. The problem is, I don’t think the whale is alone. There are ripples from other whales breeching. Or I may just be bitter that I didn’t get it.

  3. Gary, I saw those too. My best guess was that there had been 3 whales, but now there was only 1– 31, today’s date. Stretching, I know.

  4. it was just a fluke!
