    For those coming to see the kelp gull (notice how I've dropped the
"possible" but kept it in lower case?)--if you do eat at the Sea Breeze,
Kyle Rambo suggested you wear your binoculars in so they know you're a
birder. I know we often feel self-conscious and take our bins off when we go
in to a building, but in this case, the more obvious your affiliation is,
the better! The owner's son did tell me Wednesday afternoon that the bird
"has been great for business!" Paul Baicich suggested they bring on more
staff for the weekend.

Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That's why they call it the PRESENT.
