A lamentable lack of caffiene

You can see it in almost every picture here. More caffiene is required!

You know we’re going downhill when the car manufacturers give up on poetic names for their products and just put phonetic spellings on them instead. (But I kid the owner of this unfortunate Mountaineer…)

Duck & Cover

Today was a beautiful day, and Little E and I were running some errands in Fort Smith, so we grabbed a bite to eat and took our food to one of the covered picnic tables at Carol Ann Cross Park. Almost as soon as we got there and started to dig in, we had company.

Evidently, folks ignore the “don’t feed the geese and ducks” rule with regularity, because these freeloaders showed up expecting some free lunch. They stuck around the whole time we ate, politely waiting. They really quacked me up.

Little E and I ventured out to the opening day of Discover the Dinosaurs at the recently-reworked Phoenix Village Expo Center (formerly Phoenix Village Mall) and spent an hour examining the giant lizards of yesteryear. Well, okay, I was examining them. They made a lot of noise, they moved, snapping their jaws and flexing their talons, and a lot of dry ice was pumped in. Little E was hiding from the more animated exhibits, and after just a few minutes he really didn’t care too much for the static ones either.

Basically, it’s an unguided tour with animatronic dinosaurs and models that are more like nicely done statues. There are informational placards about each species, and the animatronic exhibits have a lot of pulsating colorful lights (hence some of my photos being a bit blown out), sound effects, and dry ice “fog”. I suppose, if you’re four years old, it’s probably pretty darn scary. … Read more
