The world is burning. So, for just a moment, I'm going to focus on these sailing sea lions. #worldonfire #bombs
Puget Sound / Olympia, Washington area (Eld Inlet), where two massive ''Steller sea lions'' decided to take over a small sailboat while someone was out fishing. These two look like large adult males (or one big male and a large female). Together, that's like 10 big men casually lounging on a small sailboat — no wonder it's sitting so low in the water and listing to one side! For comparison: A typical male California sea lion (the ones you see at piers in California) is much smaller: ~300 kg / 660 lb. on average, max around 350–400 kg.

Butt in Chair. #Author Sue Lowell Gallion says mentor Jane Yolen's mantra sticks with her. "That is #advice I always need to hear: Just sit down at the computer or with pencil and paper and #write something." Read more here: boonewrites.com/post/six-que…
