Saw this salamander at my parent’s house in Waupaca when I was walking their dog, Benjy. I showed it to the dog and he didn’t even care. I couldn’t decide if it was cute or gross. Kind of cute, but I touched it and it was pretty slimy.. gross.

On Friday Amanda, Stephanie, Jessica and my dad came down to Chicago and we did “take two” of going to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. Last time we tried to go it was a holiday and we just drove around forever looking for parking before driving home. I could kick myself because I found out [...]
