SAN FRANCISCO -- Researchers are optimistic that two humpback whales are back in the ocean today after an unusual two-week stay in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The whales, spotted late Tuesday off Tiburon, could have made it out of the Golden Gate any time after dark. Sighting reports this morning have not been confirmed and could be linked to other types of whales believed to be cruising through San Francisco Bay. "They could be anywhere," said Carol Singleton, spokeswoman for the state Office of Emergency Services. "The hope is that they're home and they're safe," Singleton said. "It would be nice to have a dramatic ending where we're standing on the Golden Gate Bridge as they pass under. But most important is that they're in safer water." The biologists and veterinarians who had been working to help guide the whales back to the Pacific Ocean were unable to attach a telemetry tag to the mother whale because of a malfunction with the tag.

"Already been done ... some factory research program up in the Eastern USA." What's the big mystery then?

I’m surprised they were not “rescued” for their own good and placed in SeaWorld’s luxurious accommodations.

"They could be anywhere," said Carol Singleton . . .Oh yeah? I've been wearing my anti-whale ring for fifteen years, and I can assure you they are not, and will not be, where I am right now. Those in Michael and Rosie's vicinity may have a different take.

It's called Kujira and it is very tasty.

DH is out on the Bay right know and he just called me. Apparently there is a pod about 2 mile beyond the Gate. They think the two touring whales have joined up with them.
Whether they stole the formula for transparent aluminum is still a mystery.
