Whales In West Sacramento

I mean, come on - how many times in my lifetime will I get the chance to write a headline like that?

And why does it matter, you ask? Well, the office where I work in West Sacramento is about a mile (perhaps less) from where the two wayward whales are currently lolling, in the deep water channel of the Port of Sacramento.

I haven't had a chance to drive over there today, but have heard that it's a real circus atmosphere. The Sacramento Bee reports this afternoon that a rescue is planned for tomorrow morning, and hopefully they will make it back home without too much trouble.

Not earth-shattering news by any stretch of the imagination, but kind of cool nonetheless.
