We've been on the road for almost 10 months and, at some point, I naturally started categorizing "visitor's stuff to do" into like and dislike columns. This way, when wandering into a new city/town/organic farming situation, we can quickly separate the shit from the chaff and plan our assault. Perhaps in the future I can apply this method to my task list at work and invite lists for social gatherings.
From the animal conservancy archives:
This is a Tasmanian Devil. They're dying in droves because they carry a form of cancer that is contagious among the species, transferred through biting (which they a lot). Also, they aren't as cute as I thought they'd be. This one is chewing through bone.
Never gets old. Want for pet:
Its going to be weird when we come home and the lists I make shift from the above to endless and inane to do's. My brain will again be chocker with appointments that need keeping, correspondence that needs returning and the practically mundane. Dislike.
Lest you're getting misty at this last point, weep not. I'm in the Auckland airport waiting to board our flight to Rarotonga. Like.
