Those are some excellent pics. I love the lighting for the jellyfish; I recall Monterey's presentation being simply arresting.
The girl's not playing with a full deck, Giles. She has almost no deck. She has a three.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Clarification: Monterey has Blackfooted Penguins.
Otters: We saw Kit whose surrogate parent was Toola (she has a seizure disorder! But she's an excellent surrogate Otter Mommy.)

Yep. I noticed that as well. One of the best I've ever seen.
Doesn't hurt that it was funded originally by David Packard (Of Hewlett-Packard) and has close ties to Silicon Valley.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It looks amazing. Also, seahorses.
That can appear daunting; I'm appreciative, however.
Given my happy obsession with the subject, I have no issue with this. At best, I know what he's talking about. At EVEN BETTER, I go learn something new.
Is it because of you that I have (and clearly forgot about until I just opened a different book reader) Breakthrough!: How the 10 Greatest Discoveries in Medicine Saved Millions and Changed Our View of the World by Jon Queijo? Because this looks pretty interesting too.

If it is, then it would be through a tortuous route. I've not heard of this book before, though I approve of the topic. I've put it on my wishlist.

Could be physicist uncle. I know vaccination is one of the breakthroughs discussed and we were talking about that a while back. Or who knows. People mention interesting books and I often check them out. Or Powell's. Mmm, Powell's.
I've put it on my wishlist.
I am through the intro and part of the first chapter(Hippocrates), it's interesting. Written so far for the layperson but not condescending.

So, I'm watching TV while I have workmen in the house. If I'm not at work at this time, I'm usually asleep. I have discovered that my TV gets Al Jazeera. It's very interesting. I sort of learned how to make a gas mask out of a 2 liter bottle and an aluminum can.

Art Crawl!!!
I love the aquarium pictures! I want to go!
Billytea, aren't there penguins native to Australia? Or am I terribly confused.

Aha! - security cameras may have filmed the Picasso thief - with the piece under his arm!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you, Cass and billytea, I just bought both those books. (Now let's see how long it takes me to get around to reading them.)
Also, Weedy Dragons! SO cool. Seahorse!
