The Little Colourful People

We have them off an on where I work.  Mostly the ones from the daycare in their glorious colours of pink and purple and green and yellow and blue and polka dots.  Today I arrived at work to find them on mass in the Natural Sciences Museum.  The museum is two stories of open spaces which houses a T-Rex and triceratops skeletons, among others. There are small mammals and fish to be seen as well.  And today I came in and above me, noses pressed tot he plexiglas barrier of the second level, a wall of little colourful people as noisy and happy as you please.

I'd present a photo, but one can not photograph children these days without paperwork in triplicate. But this is what they were looking at.  You can see the barrier too.  It was side to side and three deep top to bottom with faces.

Today's count

The scent of wine from fallen leaves.  Rescuing a ladybug off the bus. Warm enough to take off socks. Horse feather clouds across the blue.  A girl with purple hair.  A swarm of graceful green robed people crossing the bowl - most likely the Greystone Singers.  The sound of a child outside the library, clearly setting eyes on the T-Rex for the first time. Wooooohooowwoooo.

Don't go out in Geology Today

PMD@2015

'Cause if you go out in Geology today, you're in for a big surprise.  The dinos have been corralled for their biennial teeth floss and general wash.  This process includes yellow 'do not cross' tape, the removal of a center post between the stainless steel double doors to the out-of-doors to allow for the entry of the cherry picker, and, the cherry picker.  Not to mention two guys in hard hats and Sue - the official dino wrangler.
