UD in the Splash Zone

Here she is in the Dolphin Discovery Zone, where she sits just above the Splash Zone (gotta protect the laptop) watching the little buggers leap curvaceously out of the pool. In the background another lot of them is doing some extracurricular not-on-command large white ball play.

In fact it’s all extracurricular sport these days at the Dolphin Discovery Zone, ever since “the staff decided” (says a guy a couple of rows down) “that it’s not nice to make the dolphins perform on command.” So the atmosphere is church-like, as we silently ponder the pods.

“Hey let’s see the ball in there! They want the ball!” An old coot one splash zone over breaks the silence. (The dolphins tossed the ball out of the pool.) Staff’s ignoring him. But he’s right. They want the ball. Just splashing around is (to quote Beyond the Fringe) not enough to keep the mind alive.

Well they’ve all lined up for their fish buffet, and it was fun watching them eat. Time for UD to re-enter the militarized zone.
