Do I believe the water around here is ACTUALLY 60F as early as June 11th?!?
(Oh, and I hope this guy bought a lottery ticket after he got out of the hospital!)
Yeah

I know. We've also had 5-6 days over 90F before June 10 - we used to get that many in a typical-ish summer.
Seems like it, but no

Boston averages 14 days at 90 or above, historically, each year.

Currently.
The 1951-1980 average was 8.5 per year for the Boston area.

There have been reports of 60-62 around Boston, tho it's still pretty variable.
Was the diver hungry?

encounter, but I can't guess what I'd do in this moment. In repose, I'd say, maybe flail around, hoping to be the unexpected olive pit that gets immediately spit out.
But in the moment? Freeze? Do, um, something? What?! Unimaginable.
I've been in a bad spot underwater, was pretty sure I was going to drown. (Next-to-last thought might have been, "Gotta admit, this bachelor party was going pretty great up to this point!") But that pales next to gettin' gulped by a fahkin' wheeel, Jay. That guy's a badass.

Humpbacks eat tiny little krill. They can't actually swallow a person.
Once this one realized it had glomped a hard object, it spit it out.
Now he can relate

Of course they do. If it doesn't taste good you spit it out. Hopefully in a napkin if you're human.
