Yesterday I attended the “World Love for Dolphins Day” protest in downtown Miami organized by Sea Shepherd. This event is to protest the Taiji Dolphin hunt in Japan, where thousands dolphins and whales are captured to be sold into captivity or slaughtered by pithing, which leaves the still conscious animals paralyzed and often drowning in the blood of their own family members.

This Vegan Potluck and singalong was at Jamie’s place near Ft Lauderdale Florida. Good music, good food, good company.

It was great visiting with Terri, Crystal, Andy, Desmond, and Puck on Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday Andy made a vegan version of his favorite Risotto recipe. The dish was naturally creamy without oils, used porcini mushrooms and spinach, and contained no added salt. It was so good. The picture is from Andy’s recipe book, but our dish looked almost just like it.
Earlier in the day Terri, Puck, and I visited Fort Pickens, built with 21 million bricks in 1834. It is perhaps best known for Geronimo’s imprisonment.

I was happy to participate in a direct action with Direct Action Everywhere in Los Angeles back in July, after attending the Animal Rights National Conference. In this post on medium.com a few days ago, Alex Lockwood describes what it was like to be there, and he nails it. One of the high points for me was when the Sikh gentleman joined us.
“I wish I knew how to die more comfortably. Or for how long to remain dead. I’m a beginner at this. I’ve fallen down on my shoulder and my head’s not supported, so my neck is straining, but I don’t want to move — I’m dead, right? ”

Voting. Not happy with the choices, but the voting place at Highland Park was nice.

Since I was already in the area yesterday, I made a quick stop to see this little canyon everyone talks about. This was the third time I was travelling through Flagstaff, 60 miles from the southern rim. The first two times, I regretted not going. This time I went.
