Bats Are Friends

We got up around 5:30, had coffee, and took Dee Dee for a walk. There were lots of early morning walkers out.

This is how Dee Dee looked a few months ago before her goiter started growing. Cute dog. The vet says it's nothing to be too concerned about, so we are watching it to see what happens. She seems to not be bothered by it.

 The Dunedin Golf Club cart barn and pro shop is coming along.

We passed a woodstork on the way to the causeway to walk.

 

We rode our bikes to the marina before lunch.

The weather was in the low 80s, and we walked about 14 miles. 

I plowed through the first 20 job applications for my soon-to-be vacant job. I have about 25 more to go!

John had to explain the meaning of the chalk drawing above to me. The image is of a big fish with a mouth full of teeth, hovering over two, small fish who are scared. The words say, "Bats are friends, not food."

The allusion, as John explains it, is to the Pixar moving, Finding Nemo where a scary-looking vegetarian fish says, "Fish are friends, not food."

The allusion is used to convey the message that maybe it's not a good idea for humans to be eating bats, as they apparently do in Wuhan, China. Bats eat ticks and gnats, so we should let them prosper and not eat them. That way, we can keep their diseases from jumping to humans, causing pandemics.
