  • THL in Komodo Heaven

    The day I have been waiting for has come.

    I took the youngster to see the exhibit at our John G Shedd Aquarium called Lizards and the Komodo King. "Faust" is on loan from Texas and he is everything I thought he would be...no, definitely more. :) Seriously, this was an absolute high point in my life. I was excited to go and in awe when I got there. The little one thought he was almost as cool as I thought he was, but she was content to spend about 45 minutes with me outside his exclosure just watching and gasping at his every breath.

    This has got to be one of the most incredible creatures I have EVER had the honor of seeing in person and I am sure would only be topped if I were to see one without a glass partition.

          Those are some really great pictures :)

          I'm glad that you and your little mini-clone had a good time.

          I can't wait to take her around the U-505, I'm sure she'll have a few questions

          Say, didn't you have pictures of some cars and trucks too? ;)
          “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

            I will get a day off from answering countless questions about every topic under the sun, and then some that aren't
