Please ask me if you would like to change the thermostats so that Heather M. or I are aware of a change and can make adjustments as needed.

The thermostat in Scott's office was turned "off," so several offices on this side of the building have temperature readings of 78 degrees. We want to stay comfortable, not warm!

I appreciate your help!

My sincerest apologies to everyone. I picked up 17 hermit crabs at a flea market in Chicago over the weekend, and I read in my Crabs Household Journal that pet hermit crabs must be kept between 75 and 80 degrees. I promise it won't happen again, and I'll move my buddies to a temperature controlled chamber. By the way, I just counted and I only have 16, so if anyone finds one let me know (I think it is Paco).

Should I not have done that?

Scott

Do you want me to bring you some melted butter?

Or do you need paper towels and a good disinfectant?

Cincinnati Rocks!

I was visiting my family and BFF, Rick LaVenture Jr., this weekend in Ohio. With just a few days for my trip, I had to prioritize my outings. On Friday, Mom, brother Jerry and I went to the Cincinnati Zoo (pictures are pending as family and community photographer, Jerry, forgot his digital memory card and ended up shooting with film. They will be posted at a later date once they are developed from the Beavercreek Wal-Mart and shipped to Lincoln, NE). Highlights of the zoo include the polar bears (they enjoyed a large enclosure with mutliple swimming pools with underwater views for visitors. It was a warm 78 degrees and they back-paddled around the lake; I found them to be a delight), some kind of monkey I can't remember (these solid white and solid black monkeys zipped around their enclosure steeling bits of lettuce and carrots from each other), and the white lions. 


On Saturday, Rick and I decided to skip church and instead spend the morning and afternoon at Trader's World.  I had been to Trader's World as a youngster, but they've since expanded, and I thought this would be a good opportunity to find the requested "Ohio Kitsch" souvenir for the New Media Coordinator at my office.  It was a success as I bagged a $4 Marshmallow Gun in Cincinnati Bengals colors, complete with a sandwich-sized bag of ammunition.  The only thing Rick picked up was a few of the local "honeys" (see below).  Other Trader's World attractions included the petting zoo with porcupine and magic carpet cleaning demonstration (below).

Additionally, I was able to catch a glimpse of a new landmark in the Cincinnati area.  If you're trying to find Trader's World, just take the exit directly after "Touchdown Jesus".  This is a ginormous, and some may say "tacky", likeness of our Lord and Savior accompanied by a reflection pool.  Rick points out the landmark at Solid Rock Church on the video.
