Now all the signs I saw at SeaWorld this morning make sense. The Skywalks being chained off. All the trainers congregating in one area with a large net. Barricades going up behind us as we walked past Shamu Stadium. And them announcing over the PA system that the 12:30 Shamu Show was being canceled. Bad death news that started yesterday continues. I hate it.

Signed up for Woopra‘s free basic plan to track visitors to pacsworldscom. Rodrigo became my first experiment as to how well it works after he, the master website coder, added a few lines of code into the site’s footer code.

Walked around SeaWorld once with my mom today. Watched a couple of Killer Whales being trained. Little did we know that two hours after we watched them one of the Killer Whales, Sumar, would die.

Video chatted with Brenda about our days, hers at Starbucks with her mom and at school to prepare for tomorrow and mine with the three death situations.

First my mom told me that she got an email from her nephew saying that her brother, Öcsi, who is in the hospital, doesn’t recognize his own son any more. Ten minutes later she got a visit from our neighbor’s daughter saying that her dad, Nick, has maybe only two days left if we want to come over to say goodbye. Then on our way across the street we got word from our other neighbor next to Nick and Betty that Scruffy, one of the dogs I occasionally watch, had to be taken to the vet and they found a large abdominal tumor that had ruptured. They said that he could die at any time. They even gave Liz the option of putting him down right then, but she brought him home.
Not a very good day today.

Watched Sylvia bake a Yo Gabba Gabba birthday cake and cupcakes made up of six different colored batters and frostings, which she then decorated the following day with Rodrigo’s help.
