I think Gerry's fingers just moved faster than he was thinking...

I am sure he meant "porpoise"...

http://www.diffen.com/difference/Dolphin_vs_Porpoise

Dolphins and porpoises are cetaceans — marine mammals — that are closely related to whales. Dolphins belong to the Delphinidae family and are up to 30 feet long. Porpoises, belonging to the Phocoenidae family, are smaller and stouter, with other anatomical differences. Though both animals are very intelligent, dolphins are deemed to be more social and live in larger, more stable groups.

Although "dolphin" and "porpoise" are often used interchangeably, the term porpoise should refer only to the Phocoenidae family, in which there are seven porpoise species.

Gerald, you're not really going to propose to Oprah are you?

G.T. · 07-23-2015, 12:15 PM

... Porpoise corrected! .......til...lat'r...GT

G.T. · 07-23-2015, 02:41 PM

Have a great and relaxing vacation. Vacation time seems to fly by, so enjoy every minute of it. I will talk with you when you return.

Have a great vacation. You deserve it. Bill

Gerry,

Have a great time. It's good to get "un-wound", particularly after all the work you've done with the snail drum mag springs!

D.

p.s. Seeing these animals in captivity may not be something we can--or should- do for very much longer. The more we learn about these mammals, the clearer it becomes that it is very bad for their health and longevity to be penned up in a limited environment. They pay a big price for us to see them jumping through hoops, etc.

GT,

Hope you'll have a good vacation, and there might be something interesting in your mailbox when you get back...

G.T. · 07-23-2015, 07:54 PM

..... Best to you, til...lat'r....GT.....
