Just leaving calgary, headed to edmonton.
Kelli and joe and kelli's dad and I have rented a car, so we're
listening to johnny cash and talking about sturgeon.
When I was 8 years old I was obsessed with sturgeon, and the fact that
they were seemingly unchanged since the ye olden dinosaur times.
And ceolocanths. Even though I don't remember how to spell ceolocanths.
In general I think its pretty amazing that there are creatures who have
been hanging around unchanged for 500 million years (or 6,000 years if
you're a creationist).
Alligators, sturgeon, sharks, dragonflies, etc.
And they all live in the us and a.
Especially the alligators.
2 million wild alligators in florida and louissianna, eating dogs and
golfers.
I'm a bit alligator obsessed.
America is the land of impending disaster.
What other country routinely deals with: hurricanes, tornadoes,
earthquakes, 3 million alligators, lyme disease ridden ticks, lethal
heat in the summer, lethal cold in the winter, poisonous snakes, and
mudslides and fires?
No wonder we're all insane.
To wit: I think there's a song on the radio called 'ragin' cajun'.
And it looks like its starting to snow.
