Pods of mullet like this have been seen in our marina recently. The light glare is where the mullet are breaking the surface as if gasping for air. They are tightly packed, large in size, and number about fifty. They seem to be staying under or very near the crossbridge. I think I saw why yesterday. A pod moved out about 10 feet from the pier and a pelican dove into them and picked up a pouchful. The pelican didn't seem to know just what to do with a whole mouthful. It just sat there in the water thinking about what to do to position them to go down his throat. After a while he had to let a few go to allow the rest to be swallowed. I had never seen a pelican pick up more than one fish at a time.
There have been programming problems with the cable TV here. A feud between KRIS and Time Warner has caused several stations to be blocked, including NBC. The transition from Cobridge to Time Warner has been slow too. I copied this from the Time Warner website.
Attention former Cobridge Communications customers in Rockport, Portland, Sinton, Holiday Beach, Lamar and Port Aransas: at Time Warner Cable, we work hard to prevent our customers from experiencing any programming disruptions like this, but in the rare event that a local TV station chooses to black out its programming for our customers, we do whatever we can to provide you alternate ways of seeing their shows. Unfortunately, because we just took over running your cable system last week, we haven’t yet completed the technical integration necessary to bring you some of those alternate viewing options. So you will not have access to the NBC Primetime On Demand programming. However, remember that you can still get access to programming for free over the air, or online at free sites like nbc.com, cwtv.com, hulu.com, plus amazon.com, netflix.com, and huluplus.com for a fee.
