Yes....My Octopus Teacher follows South African filmmaker Craig Foster during the year he spent with a wild octopus while freediving off the coast of South Africa. He documented the highs and lows of the octopus’ life while developing a beautiful friendship with the wild animal. Craig said in the documentary that he needed a “radical change” in his life so he began going diving every day off the Western Cape of South Africa. While wandering through a kelp forest, he discovered an octopus and became fascinated with the animal.

By the end of the movie when the shark gets the octopus, she's already at the end of her life having just mated and laid hundreds of thousands of eggs. It is sad at that point but her life is already basically over and she is just waiting to die. The movie is very sweet and well worth watching in spite of that, and the photography is pretty awesome too :)

Ruby, I've also been meaning to ask you if you ever figured out what defragging was lol. It is short for defragmentation. Fragmenting happens to files on your device as you open, close, add to, adjust, rearrange, and move them around. So defragging helps clean up the refuse that gets left laying about, as it were. The cache is like a record of the history on your use of the device. Many devices are automatically programmed to clean up after themselves by defragging and clearing the cache.

I'm doing well. How are you? Did you watch the Presidential Debate last night?

Nice gif......
sad to see a beautiful train get wasted like that :( , but it sure makes a good point.
No, didn't watch any of it. I used to want to watch that kind of stuff even though most of it is greek to me, but now I figure I'll see enough highlights all around the web and such, as well as being able to pull it up any time I might want to view it, that trying to make time to squeeze in watching something just isn't worth it in this house.
Kids get home from school and have home work + chores, and want to make sure they get it done timely with SOME time to rest and enjoy things before bed and having to get up and do it all again the next day.

I'm doing well thank you. Actually, well doesn't begin to describe it :) Beginning to see answers to prayers around here, some things I had even forgotten were prayed about until recently. Yup, can't even begin to describe it.

How's the new Grandbaby (and parents) Dan?

The Grandbaby is going great! He is a lot of fun! :D He spent the night with my wife and I for the first time last Friday. I'm glad that we kept our son's old baby crib. I put it together, cleaned it up and we bought a new mattress and sheets for it. New cribs are expensive! We even bough a Noah's Ark blanket for it. :)

awwwwww!!!!

Bet you and wife had a blast!
Yes, new cribs are way to expensive, AND don't hold up well.
With our first born we wanted a crib that was quality (but wouldn't break the bank, some of those things that were well made cost more than all her big girl stuff combined :eek: ) Also, thought it might be a good idea to get one that was transitional so that we wouldn't have to fork out more $$ in a few short years for a toddler bed. Only the way it was presented we didn't realize the toddler bed parts didn't come with it and would have to be bought separately, the parts for that were going to cost almost as much as a new toddler bed :rolleyes: . Thankfully for us, baby #2 came along so soon after and we were able to use the crib with him. By the time he got to toddler bed stage we just decided to take the side off, lower mattress to lowest setting and forget about the parts needed for making it a "toddler bed". Worked out just fine. And, if we really had needed it, Walmart sells the pop up rails that slide under the mattress for MUCH less than a fancy bed part.

I bet putting your sons old crib back together was a lot of fun and brought back memories.

@GandalfTheWhite more facts to make us cry, from A Plastic Ocean:

63 billion gallons of oil are used every year just to supply the U.S. with
plastic water bottles, more than 90% of which are one-time use only.
The U.S. alone throws away 38 billion bottles every year, equaling 2 million
tonnes of plastic going into U.S. landfills, and that is only counting water
bottles, amounting to approximately 300 pounds of single-use plastic
disposed per person. 80% of the litter along the shorelines of the Great Lakes
is plastic. This level of plastic debris is found all around the world. The
Mediterranean Sea is one of the most polluted bodies of water on the planet,
where recent findings show a 1-to-2 ratio of plastic to plankton. That is not
counting other types of garbage such as metal, rubber, and netting etc.

Yes it is very sad, though perhaps not as tear jerking as
the callous disregard poachers have for the life of such
unique, incredible and majestic animals as elephants.

I gave up trying to sleep :oops::giggle: Pass the coffee, please :D

Okay, I am about 1/2 way through A Plastic Ocean and for real I had to pause the movie/doc to weep at all the marine life that is dying as a direct result of ingesting so much broken down plastic in the world's largest source of protein (ocean waters). :cry::cry::cry:
