...well, the campus loop, anyway. All the activities of the last couple of weeks have made it tough for Bess and me to get out and run. A little less on our plate now. Ran yesterday, but the IPod was dead (among the more frustrating feelings out there to get Bess harnessed up, stretch out, push play, and have nothing happen). This morning we ran in the rain, and had to get reacquainted with Philip Hoare and his whales. Guess what we're talking about now...
Had to assume that we'd get around to narwhals, discussed with other holarctic whales like belugas and bowheads. Along with the sperm whales and the orcas, they've got to be the most charismatic of the cetaceans. Here's another, less entertaining look.
Have to take issue with the comment that the horn "doesn't seem to serve any evolutionary purpose." Not true. In fact, the more we learn about it, the more purposes we uncover.
