ALA CD
There it is. If something happens to this CD ... well, I'll just use the backup. If something happens to both, I'm toast.

Cannery Row
After I left the aquarium I walked down the famous Cannery Row, immortalized by John Steinbeck, and where migrant workers and women worked 15-16 hour days catching and canning fish. That is until there wasn't any fish left in Monterey Bay. So much history ...

Upside down jelly fish
The upside-down jelly. These jelly-fish live on the ocean floor with their tentacles facing up. They also live in a symbiotic relationship with algae that grows on their tentacles.

Monterey Bay Aquarium
After the presentation I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. About half the displays there are about jellyfish, and let me tell you they are amazing.

Presentation
Here is me at the podium about a half an hour before the presentation. In the corner is the audience. I'm sorry I made it so small. The room was so dark that the picture came out horrible.

Monterey Bay
Monterey Bay. I wish I could somehow put the smell, and the sun, and the sounds in this picture. Off on the rocks in the distance are hundreds of sea lions all barking. It was amazing.

Monterey Hotel
The view out of my hotel in Monterey. That is the Bay in the background. That was nice to wake up to.

Thoughts
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent and praiseworthy - think about such things.

Start to reflect
"Such nonsense!" declared Dr. Greysteel. "Whoever heard of cats doing anything useful?"
"Except for staring at one in a supercilious manner," said Strange. "That has a sort of moral usefulness, I suppose, in making one feel uncomfortable and encouraging sober reflection upon one's imperfections."

Pumpkin design number 2. Note the big goofy grin, the little eyes and nose, and the hair strands.
