Over the past couple of weeks because the weather now permits me to do so, I have been reading and studying (meaning sitting with books open hoping for osmosis to do it's magic and transmit knowledge from to books to my brain)by the river. At first, second ad twenty-fifth glance, the river looks very intimidating and scary-it is. But what is amazing is that there is life in the polluted section of the Hillsborough that we inhabit!
At first these kids were playing around and fishing and caught what they thought was a catfish. But when we looked closer, we noticed that the creature had no scaled and also had teeth. These brave souls had caught a nurse shark! This was as surprising and scary as discovering life on Mars in my book.
THen for the past three week DOLPHINS . Usually I would just see a fin popping up periodically (even though that still didn't stop me from yelling and pointing like a small child) but this week on Monday the tide was high and the dolphins brought on the show.
The dolphins were swimming right up to the side and on top of that three manatees swam by! I also have two security guards who witnessed it with me if you don't believe. Which most don't., It's still hard to get people to believe that the greenish brownish, potentially radioactive river has life.
