    Do the smaller river otters gang up on anything? Maybe a house cat or something along those lines?

    Juan Vega, the clam diver, found an injured sea otter and nursed it back to health..

    From the moment the grateful otter was able to walk, it never left Juan’s side. It even learned to dig for clams.

    One day, a man went to Juan’s house looking to hire him for a week.

    His wife answered the door.

    “Sure…” his wife said. “It will cost you $500.”

    “That much?” he asked

    “But you’re getting my husband and his otter. They bring up more clams than anyone else in town.” she said.

    “I just want Juan. I’ll hire him alone for $350.” the man countered.

    “Sorry…” she shrugged. “You can’t have Juan without the otter.”

    So there’s a river that goes from Wyoming to the Atlantic Ocean? That’s news to me. Does this river have a name?

    So nice to read about insects without any snakey comments.

    Jaguars and tigers love water. If the Jaguar is in the water with more than one giant otter, he’s toast. On land I bet he can run away.

    About Running, huh?

    An 80-year-old man married a 20-year-old girl. After a year she gave birth in a hospital.

    The nurse congratulated the fellow. “This is amazing. How do you do it at your age?”

    He answered, “You’ve got to keep that old motor running.”

    The following year she gave birth again. The same nurse said, “You really are amazing. What’s the secret?”

    He again said, “You’ve got to keep the old motor running.”

    The same thing happened the next year. The nurse said, “You must be quite a man.”

    He responded, “You’ve got to keep that old motor running.”

    The nurse then said, “Well, you had better change the oil, this one’s black!”
