Kielbasa's what I love to eat at the ballpark. Losing never tasted so good.

Chicago, of course, and it would be among my favorite US cities even if I didn't grow up there. Boston, New Orleans, Philadelphia, DC, and Key West are also favorites.

We had a 14' baby female sperm whale beach itself in south Florida yesterday. Only the third recorded stranding of the species here, although they are offshore inhabitants of our waters. She was very emaciated, apparently orphaned, and there wasn't anything that could be done for the animal and she had to be euthanized. The carcass is in the marine mammal necropsy facility here where I work and they will perform a fuil multi-institute necropsy today. I just went by the facility to take a look at the animal and what an awesome animal she was. At full size, she could have reached 45-60 feet! After the necropsy, we'll macerate the remains so we can retrieve the bones and then rearticulate the skeleton which I will hang for display at our visitor center. I have three other dolphin and small whale skeletons on display, but this will be the biggest one by quite a bit. Sad seeing this animal come to an end like that, but an interesting way to start the day.

But today is another day. Prediction: we lose by 1 run, because it seems to be our thing.

When to all talk like Yoda was it decided, hmm?

Actually you need to be a zoologist who suffered through 5 years of Latin class.

Just watched Watchmen last night. As a fan of the original comic but who hasn't reread it in 10 years, I thought it was a solid adaptation. Better than 75% of comic adaptations though I know that's not saying much.

Xenopus laevis is the African clawed frog.

Very long time since I've expected miracles from the 2009 team.
