Over 30,000 humans like the Sea-Gull watch Facebook page. Some guy with a hyphenated name and a website called watchitallabout.com has posted a glowing review of the Sea-Gull Ocean Star diver's watch. You can tell he was smitten by it. He took so many close-up photos.
Yes, it is the official first day of spring, which doesn't mean that much in parts of the Midwest and Northeast, where winter weather persists. Be that as it may, I've been looking for any excuse for giving away free stuff. So in honor of the Vernal Equinox, and because a lot of you seemed to like the way I looked in green on Bandon Day, balancing act is giving away... This feels a little silly. All I really need to to do is insert a link to last Tuesday's post. But I have discovered that some of you are still not that savvy when it comes to links, in spite of my best efforts to salt and pepper my posts with appropriate links that connect you to audible and visual resources related to the subject matter of the day. That's my justification for repeating my special Valentine's Day offer. Valentine's Day is almost here. If you're like me, you probably wait until the last minute to find something special for your sweetheart. This year, I'm here to help you save time and money, and come out looking good on Valentine's Day, too. In fact, what I have to offer is absolutely free! For a limited time, you can show your valentine how much you care with a one-of-a-kind gift... (See order form below) Offer ends Tuesday, February 14, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Void where prohibited. Some exclusions may apply. Offer may be extended by Geo on a whim. Consult your physician if you have previously experienced allergic reactions or severe side-effects when responding to free online offers or coming in contact with seagull feathers. * Ah, you've found the asterisk again. The title of today's post comes from the lyrics of "Heart," a popular song in the 1955 musical Damn Yankees, which was based on the book The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant. P.S. On the birthday of our 40th president, consider his words: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." I have been reminded that my long-lost brother Notaleo is also a park host. So is my half-brother Hafaleo, also known as Hafavirgo. (He was born on the cusp.)
Unfortunately, I have to limit that offer temporarily. There are plenty of Xs and Qs and Zs in my current box of Cheez-Its, but I cannot find a single H. So if there's an H in your name, I can supply you with a new, H-less name, or you'll need to wait until I open a new box. Of course, that means Hafaleo/Hafavirgo is out of luck, too. Not a single H in the whole box! :~( Although I doubt luck is what I'll need. I am excited, and uncharacteristically nervous, because I have a job interview today!
I'll let you know tomorrow. I don't want to jinx my chances. Meanwhile, you have another chance to take advantage of this exclusive offer: Here's an offer you can't refuse. Okay. There's a slim possibility you could refuse this offer, but I just can't see why. Maybe I should have said it's for a limited time only, and supplies are limited, too. (An apparently wealthy benefactor has brought me another box of highly coveted Scrabble Junior Cheez-Its.) So, hurry! Get your order in fast! These fabulous gifts from me, suitable for framing, are priceless. But for you, they're absolutely free!
It's a free country and I love it! Watch this space for free speech and free advice.
Sorry, I can't talk right now. I've been caught up in a swarm of last-minute shoppers. I was able to swallow the cookie whole before my competition could get to it.
Then I read this fortune, and it made me blush. You have no idea how hard that is for a seagull to do. I don't know about you, but Christmas just sorta sneaked up on me. Usually, when something sneaks up on me, I take a peek over my mantle feathers to size up the threat, and I waddle in the other direction. If the stalker doesn't stop following me, I just take a couple of big hops and I'm airborne. That is, unless whoever is following me is offering something edible. Then it's a whole other story. The stalker suddenly becomes my new best friend. Back to Christmas. It's almost here, and I have neglected to spread any seasonal joy in this blog. So here's a tip: If you are able to visit us on the Oregon coast between now and New Year's Eve, be sure to take in the fabulous light display in the gardens at Shore Acres State Park, south of Coos Bay. This holiday tradition began on a small scale 30 years ago, and it grows bigger every year.
Unfortunately, I have never seen the Shore Acres Holiday Lights after dark, because I am not certified for night flying. But I have enjoyed the beautiful gardens before sundown, as well as the amazing Cape Arago coastline nearby, where it's also peak season for whale watching.
Check out the Shore Acres website for details. As you can see, lots of my relatives were here already, and I'll be hanging out with them until further notice. It's like gull heaven on earth!
