This is crazy. Won't the buttons get caught in the tuna nets?

This is an example of why Bainbridge Island is known to locals as "Braindamage Island".

I'm thinking it could be great PR if the Navy brought their cuddly Dolphins to the Bainbridge Island Sr. Center "frolic" with the little ladies in the pool.

Jeezus, where is the barf alert? Well, it did mention Brainfreeze (oops, Bainbridge) Island in the article
that is usually good for an implicit "barf alert" right there, but if you're not a local, it would be hard to tell

And the photo has ALMOST the usual requisite racial 'balance' that is de rigueur these days. Missing is a black Grandma, but I'm guessing that all of the black Grandmas in the area have far too much common sense to join a bunch of lunatics like this.Well, I called my Grandma (who taught me to knit at a very early age, and yes, she's black, for those of you on Brainfreeze Island) and told her this story
and she just laughed her head off. She lives by the US Coast Guard station on Cape Cod, so she's familar with cold weather
and the thought of putting sweaters on dolphins absolutely cracked her up.
"What are they putting in the water out there?" she asked.
"Beats me, but I make sure to filter it before I drink it," I said.
"You keep on doing it," she admonished me. (Pretty sharp, for 88.)

Not only do they knit but they are allowed to vote.

Where does one find a pattern for a dolphin sweater? Do they come in sizes?

says the dolphins will know what to do with the sweaters..."Well, I guess the dolphins are so smart, so they can figure it out, if and how and when. I'm just happy to knit for them," Beran said.
I would hate to be related to this woman, it seems her elevator doesn't quite reach the top floor.

Not only do they knit but they are allowed to vote.And here in Washington State, their votes count for more than one person thanks to the endless election fraud and corruption of the Left.

Thanks very much for confirming my hypothesis :-)
She is indeed sharp, and I hope that she will remain an enthusiastic voter for many years to come.
