It was godawful smelly. Be glad it is closed. Nothing interesting or fun there.
How was dinner?
Very delicious as usual. Our birding friend was especially happy as they had his favorite IPA (or as HW says, "IPPA") beer back on tap again. It's usually relaxing, but sometimes I'd rather be listening to The Little Podcast That Did when it's on, or not listening to so much birding talk. Mostly I don't mind, and we do talk about other things. He used to own a wonderful bookstore in Tulsa, OK, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of books and literature, is an obsessive reader, so that's interesting and fun. He has about 5,000 books for sale at Abebooks online and does a moderate but steady business out of his storage unit here. I can't imagine managing 5,000 books, but he seems to be able to do it.
Thanks for asking! And thanks for reassuring me that it's probably better I missed the zoo!
