14. My wife and I gained the attention of a pair of seals

while at a deserted beach in western Ireland a few years back.

We couldn't quite get enough of each other.

29. Last night, I saw a doc on Netflix that is HIGH on my list of must-watch.

I'd just finished watching one about an ultra-high diversity farm in CA (also amazing), it was going on 2 and I figured some sleep was in order.

It's called My Octopus Teacher, and it looked just fantastic. From the brief trailer, I got the gist of it, I think. A burned-out filmmaker goes to the coast to recharge and starts snorkelling around the reef(s). He somehow makes the acquaintance of a smallish octopus, and he can tell they're bonding, so he decides to see what happens if he goes every day. From what I could tell, I'd highly recommend it, in light of the clip in the OP.

Also, on last night's local news, in a video of a dirt logging road, a couple of miles as the crow flies from the ocean - a sea lion, flippering its way down the road.
