at least it's an ethos...

yeah-i’ll-stand-by-this-gorilla-but-i’m-not-gonna-look-at-the-camera-until-i-get-another-popsicle stinkface.

all of the attitude.

yesterday was face paint version 2.0 - two face meets the hulk. he wouldn’t let us wash it off last night so we awoke to a very green pillow and a 1/4 scary monster.

spent an hour this afternoon at bottlecraft on india in san diego.

dig this - they have a killer selection of craft & import beers to take home. but, you can also have a hard-to-find tap brew while perusing their wares. or you can crack a bottle of whatever you like to drink on the premises. killer business model.

also, having a brew while browsing totally removed that choice anxiety. kind of analogous to never grocery shipping hungry.

sham who? shut yo mouth!

got up early to try out san diego’s mass transit system to get to sea world.
so far not as bad as every review on the internet made it out to be, but having to wait 30 minutes between departures could certainly add up…BUT - everything is super clean and the staff is quite helpful.

the SD zoo website is great.

There are three classes, or main types, of mammals: monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals. Monotremes are the most primitive and there are only three species: the duck-billed platypus and two species of echidna. These mammals have hair and produce milk, but they also lay eggs. The eggs are leathery, similar to reptile eggs, and hatch into tiny young that are not well developed. The young cling to the fur on the mother’s belly and suck at her milk, which comes from pores in the skin instead of from a nipple.

i had no idea about any of this other than the leathery eggs.  bolded for what the fuck.
