I'm not a huge dinosaur fan (no pun intended), but I do love the way you can turn a dinosaur name into just about anything.

None of my lamo-family will come with me anymore, so I have to drag visiting friends there. <BR/>How bizarre that you mentioned the blue whale hanging from the ceiling. I always go to that whale. I love him. <BR/>I also love the way the museum is set out. It is such a great place to explore.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544499105873976552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651417445743903281.post-12475837948870979392009-01-19T10:19:00.000+00:002009-01-19T10:19:00.000+00:00I've made a gross generalisation that I can't subs...I've made a gross generalisation that I can't substantiate with actual facts and may have to backtrack...<BR/><BR/>Well, I'm about 40 pages in so far and it's not easy going but I'm going to try and stick with it (in between reading At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O'Brien)That Baldy Fellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049009604878359923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651417445743903281.post-18092070429256917392009-01-19T09:22:00.000+00:002009-01-19T09:22:00.000+00:00I'm with Star Kicker - dinosaurs are all kinds of ...I'm with Star Kicker - dinosaurs are all kinds of wonderful. <BR/><BR/>I tried to read Origin of the Species, but ouch on the brain.

Today, she asked me to be a "cheese bread dinosaur". Hmmm.<BR/>4)I have "On The Origin Of Species" in my stack of nightstand reading, just under "The Odyssey" and just over "Meditations On Quixote" by Ortega y Gasset. I hope to read it.
