Accidental tourist: Manatee cruises Hudson River

Monday, August 7, 2006; Posted: 9:45 a.m. EDT (13:45 GMT)

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/08/07/manatee.hudson.river.ap/index.html

NEW YORK, New York (AP) -- In the heat of summer, all sorts of  
tourists head north to cooler climes. This year, a manatee has joined  
the crowd, cruising past the nightclubs of Manhattan and continuing  
north.


The massive animal has been spotted in the Hudson River at least three

times in the last week -- first off the Chelsea and Harlem sections  
of Manhattan, then to the north in Sleepy Hollow in Westchester County.


It was gigantic, said Randy Shull, who said he spotted the unusual  
visitor Sunday afternoon while boating at Kingsland Point Park in  
Sleepy Hollow. When we saw it surface, its back was just mammoth.


Last month, trackers saw the manatee as it swam north, first near  
Delaware, then Maryland, then New Jersey. By Saturday, it was seen in  
Manhattan.


Kim Durham, rescue program director for the Riverhead Foundation, a  
nonprofit group devoted to marine mammals, called it a bona fide  
sighting, but there isn't photographic proof.


It is unusual for one of the creatures -- often associated with the  
warm waters of Florida -- to travel so far north, although they have  
been reported along the shores of Long Island and even Rhode Island.


Manatees are an endangered marine mammal. Florida wildlife experts  
counted 3,116 in their annual survey in February.


John Vargo, the publisher of Boating on the Hudson magazine, said his  
alert about the sightings was met with disbelief by some boaters.
Some were laughing about it, because it couldn't possibly be true,  
he said.


I'm 70 years old, and I've been on the river my entire life, Vargo  
said. I've seen dolphins and everything else, but never a manatee.

I haven't officially practiced for several years, but I sure
learned a lot from doing so earlier, 
- it actually helps one understand how poetry and language work in the
mind, and isn't at all what most people think when they see the term

WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?

Comet Hyakutake was spotted by
Yuji Hyakutake (January 30, 1996).
its closest approach was 9.3 million
miles away. it wished to kiss the rust
off of Yuji's nose. but that nose, Comet
Hyakutake, is a scoundrel, outliving 1000s
of fires. crackle, sniff. their warmth was pale!

Gamaliel  Yehoshua were on a boat;

the latter had prepared bread  flour for food

when Gamaliel's bread was consumed by him
he relied on Yehoshua's flour. to the question
of Gamaliel, were you aware of a delay
in the journey, that you took much food,
Yehoshua replied, there's a star once a 70 year
that makes the captains of ships err.

said Gamaliel, you possess so much wisdom  still
you're compelled to go on a ship to make your living.

BOX / QUOTATIONS FROM CHAIRMAN MAO TSE-TUNG

before 1840 Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko had an orbit
that kept it far from our Sun (a cow during her milk).

In 1840 Comet C-G neared Jupiter, whose gravity moved
Comet C-G closer to our Sun (a cow during her milk).

a close approach near Jupiter in 1959 moved Comet C-G
even closer to our Sun (a cow during her milk). since

Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko was distant from our
Sun, a cow during her milk, until recent times, it hasn't

melted a lot: Comet C-G's looks are more anciently, maybe.
what did our Sun (cow, milk) look like when she was young?
