"I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire..."

Oops, no idea how the hack I missed that one... Aw, I must have skimmed the last 2 with her in it. Well in my defense, I have been sick since friday.

Nice John! Love that aquarium and their exhibits are always top notch. The curators there have over 75 years between them and it shows in the exhibits.

Looks like it was a great day for you and the family :fro:

Wonderful pictures!

Can you tell me a little bit about what you saw with the Green Sea Turtles? When I was there last, about 15 years ago they had a female and think she was around 60 years old (her name has left me) but she arrived back in the 70's. Did you see her? I had a behind the scene's tour and when we went up to top of the main tank they pulled her out and they let me feed her...it was amazing! I fell in love with her :heart: Oh I think her name was Ethel or Myrtle??? I think I need to go sit on the bench and think ::) ;D
Choose your thoughts carefully .. you are a masterpiece of your life.

Yes Callen she's still there I think we read that she is 72 years old. Didn't have much luck with the pics I took of her. She wasn't very active while we were there but she is massive very impressive. It's a wonderful aquarium I always enjoy myself when we go. They have a pacu there who's been there for years and is very big the perfect pacu to show someone who is about to buy one from a lfs. :)
