As expected, internet access will be few and far between. Dropped off Carbone and Tui in DC (wouldn't you know that Carbone would stop being a real man just before we left. That monkey better change his tune fast!). The Smithsonian loved me so much I didn't leave until after 3am, then down to see old photojournalism friends near Tampa, so few saw my blur. My photo-friends also have ferrets (which I *didn't* know) and were surprised that I know a little about them. Introduced them to the FML and Ferret Central and couldn't get them off the computer! Worse than Sam!! We went snorkling down by Key West, and the only part I forgot to slather sunscreen on was my nose and forehead, so just look for the glow. (BTW, for those who care, as a person who have hiked through and bicycled across Death Valley, I don't buy the "wet-heat is worse" whine. While some might think the only difference is in the south people bloat when they die and in the southwest they just mummify, I'm here to tell you that a few hours of feeling your lung hairs carbonize and your bronchii dry into one of those "wind-tubes" you see in the pets stores and you'll wish you had 90 degree at 90 percent humidity to whine about. As far as I am concerned, in the south you whine about sticky sweat and in the desert you just dry up and die, or just wish someone would spit in your mouth to help slake the thirst. 'Course, just my opinion and I could be wrong.....naw!) I just arrived in Gainsville and will be here for the next few days, and am looking forward to meeting one of my favorite docs and other people. In between staring at bones, that is. Of coruse, I plan to met them BEFORE they read this post (hardy har har). Knoxville is next, then back to DC where I plan on parading Carbone and Tui around and doing a little bragging. I understand they are teaching their host ferts new bad habits. My job is complete. Bob C Sans 19 Mo Ferrets of Fun [Posted in FML issue 2397]
