Paulina, a whale of a story! Loved the accent you wrote into Ruthie's call. I was laughing uproariously as I read it. And the photos!! Fantastic. I
have never had the pleasure of seeing one of these creatures up close so they are quite compelling. If that whale lands anywhere near you I hope the
prevailing winds blow the other direction. Good luck.

The only thing left to do was to try to disassemble what was left. Picture this; she was standing on the beach in front of the whale, gripping one of
the rib bones in both hands above her head, while rocking it back and forth with all her might, trying to break it loose. The rib broke loose alright,
pulling Ruthie along with it, face first, smack into the mass of whale goo.
With glowing tiki torches as a back light, Ruthie stood there in her brightly flowered muumuu, arms outstretched as she told of falling into the
slime. (I was laughing so hard I had to cross my legs). In her German accent she re-enacted the moment when she realized what had just happened,
slowly stood up, faced towards her house and yelled, “Ernest, Ernest, come quick! I’ve just fallen in ze wvale gooo!” She was covered head to toe in
decomposing whale, maggots and all.(At this point I could hardly catch my breath.) Ernest hosed her off and she threw in the towel.

That part is Hilarious! Great read.

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Ja Ja Ja! I wondered who would be the first one to notice, it would be you Igor! I've been holding a similar photo silenced taken by Bedman that same
year I believe! I figured what the heck, I'm only getting.....better! HA! My life is going to be way too short to worry about the dreaded pink bikini.
Besides, I always figure if people don't like what they see they don't have to take a second look, AND, brown fat looks better than white fat, so bare
it all! It's a REAL good thing that the ultra-dreaded thong hadn't been introduced into my baja wardrobe at that point....we'd all be scared! Talk
about a graphic photo!

edit: that darned spelling thing.

All I can say, is...
...That's one WHALE of a meal for those Turkey Buzzards, shown 'Hanging Eight' on Jumbo's bod!
Too bad your friends can't 'render' the floater (or Beacher), and sell the oil to Greenpeace for one of their Diesel powered vessels...
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

You've been a real sport about this Paulina.
I think I'll borrow Juan's thong and pose with my truck. I believe in equal opportunity.
