We saw some adorable piglets yesterday on a field trip. Also, miniature donkeys, fainting goats and some lion-maned rabbits. LOVE!

bon, I wish DH were here to answer your question. The man writes his own crazy macros, VBA functions, and whatever other wizardry I can't name.

I think I knew you were not a cat person Tom, but cats are less work than dogs and allow you to take day/weekend trips.

lion-maned rabbits???

I am really just holding out for my pet [link]

lion-maned rabbits???

What she interrogated.

I went to a butterfly zoo on Monday. They also had super-tiny adorable fancy quail running around under the bushes that I nearly had to be restrained from grabbing and taking home. (The signs said not to touch the BUTTERFLIES, so I thought I had hit upon a loophole. )

I read that as lion-manned rabbits, and was very confused.

When I was in high school, my friends and I snuck on to a pig farm to take pictures of all the piglets. It was adorable.

Thank FSM for the Calming Manatee.

Downtown has a food pod today! I'm very excited. I hope they have something awesome for lunch.

What's a food pod? Initially Google seems to think it's a kitchen doodad, and the articles which talk about food trucks don't actually explain the nature of poddiness.

It's not my place to follow up every discussion with "Can you repeat that all back to me?"

Oh, but that would be so good.

Oh, but that would be so good.

The temptation is strong. The number of times I've explained things in an important situation and people walk away without asking me for clarification, but then later fess up to not having gotten it...scares me.

My boss never leaves a discussion without saying "Okay, so if I get what you're saying...." and that makes me feel much more comfortable.

However, if they also remembered from week to week (seriously--you can take notes!) it would be even better.

Man, I'm reading some stuff on Scientology, and I can't *believe* these people. I mean, if you separate the beliefs from what they do, there's still lots of grounds to declare them wackadoo. I don't know if you have credibility complaining about their space clam if you have religious beliefs of your own that posit supernatural things, but how they act is just so damned wrong I can barely believe it.
