Though it really doesn't feel like it. I was looking forward to something above fifty on Saturday but I don't think that's happening anymore.
I squeegeed the floor in Enrichment while Vikki tried in vain to dump the grebe's nasty greenish pool water in the drain and the grebe sat in the bucket, wrapped in a towel.
When she took it out, he made a noise that could aptly be described as "the Penguin getting kicked in the crotch."
Grebes remind me of loons but apparently, grebes are grebes, not loons or gulls or waterfowl. They have funny looking feet: each toe has lobes.
The snowy owl is still around, since I guess it was underweight. She'll be released soon (next week I'm going to
I got to see Kaz (I'm like "what's that short for?" and she says "Karen," and I'm like "Oh not Kazimiera.") prepare a dead guinea pig (I think in life he was used for research purposes or something and we ended up with a bunch of dead ones for some reason) with blood on its face for the owl by slicing its belly open.
She said "I hope you're not squeamish," and I'm like "I've seen the insides of various animals before, and also an eviscerated mouse" I said Ms. Owl should consider this an honor; as very few snowy owls get to eat guinea pig.
The name Phoebe/Phoebus means "bright and shining." Which is weird because Charon means something like "The Bright" or perhaps "fierce brightness." While Karen means pure (it's a corruption of Katherine, after all), and it's also an ethnic group in Burma. I think the latter is pronounced ka-ren, though. I will let her know that. Some people say that Katherine doesn't actually mean pure, the Romans botched a translation.
Phoebe is the name of her cat, which reminded me of Bianca. Phoebe is white, while Bianca is black.
Kaz thinks The Fast Supper is awesome. She is really excited about hoverboards.
There are still only four Jaws movies and no holographic sharks and the Cubs still haven't won the world series. Kaz says that won't happen.
Apparently, we've had eagles before, but not while I've been there.
burning question: is it just my imagination or has the blogosphere gotten worse?
