Weekend funness
My ex-step-daughter Alexis slept over on Saturday night. :) It was really good to see her. I don't think she's come over since the middle of summer...or something around there. She's gotten SOOOOOO big!!! (She'll be 10 this December! My, how time flies!!!)

Anyway, today we went to this Animal Expo @ the Niagara Power Authority. They always have cool free stuff there for kids to do but this took the cake! They had presentations with monkeys, police dogs, local wildlife conservation/rescue groups showing off this nifty red-tailed hawk who had been hit by a car and is unable to be releasd back into the wild (excuse the crappy pictures!! I forgot my real camera and had to use my phone.):

Several services had tents set up (greyhound & german shepard rescues, assistance dogs, etc..), some local shop that specializes in reptiles was set up, but we missed their show. :(

The last thing we spotted before leaving was a guy who brought out a falcon... and once the falcon was away he brought out this:

A Bald Eagle!!! What a gorgeous animal!!!

Does anyone know what kind of bug this is? There were a few of them on one of my parents' trees. They were all curled around backward (as shown) and seemed to be moulting or something. Creepy little buggers!!

Dave Wakeling, the lead singer for The English Beat, was involved in a small fender bender in the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge today. :)

I spoke with him to get his statement and he was super nice. :)

That is all.

Ahhh, debauchery....
...I have missed you so.

(e:theecarey) 's Saturday birthday festivities went down in a style that is to be expected by anyone who knows either of us well. :)

We never did make it out to see David Usher, but we had no problems finding other ways to amuse ourselves.

More details if she cares to divulge them.

David Usher
David Usher (Moist) will be playing @ Casino Niagara (on the other side of the ditch) this Saturday (9/16) @ 11:00 pm!!


If anyone ever got a chance to see Moist play live (like I did, many moons ago) you know David Usher knows how to work a crowd!

Definitely check it out if you are so inclined.
