Rick’s Rants and Raves

Today, we went to the Zoo, which was quite busy, where we saw some animals, and the weather was beautiful.

The best part? We were there for about six hours, and between the four of us, we took about 400 pictures (over 700MB!). I’m looking forward to making a couple of mosaics of subjects that we all shot.

OK, actually, that isn’t the best part. The best part is that we had a great time, and the kids were fabulous. And it started in the parking lot on the way to the front gate. There were two overweight women walking in front of us with their kids in tow. Both women had seriously over-tight pants (“Do these pants make me look desperate?”) with dunlop’s disease, and in quick succession, both bent over to tend to their kids, revealing ample crack. I quickly suggested that we move to the other side of the walk-way. After we were out of ear-shot, my son exclaimed “Oh My God, I saw her butt” in the most disgusted tone he could muster. I laughed, and explained that was why we moved. We spent much of the rest of the day marveling at the supreme wonderfulness of our kids.
