Now I see. Thanks for the explanation. I guess we did the right thing.

What you said rings true. In '67 I was in the shop one beautiful day and California Gray whales were sounding off shore. As I was told, their leaping leaping almost clear of the water was to navigate by spying out for landmarks that meant something to them.

Well, I wandered outside to get a better view and talk with neighbors who were out there too. When I went back in, I wandered over to my desk where I found a magazine there that hadn't been there before. It was open to an article on the Communist influence in folk music with pertinent warning things underlined for my education and enlightenment. I figured whoever they were was letting me know that they were watching. Nothing unseemly ever followed after that, but I do still remember it.
