 Today was my first day and I was given a tour of the Jurassic National Monument and the Cleveland Lloyd dinosaur quarry. Here are some of the things I saw.

What is That?

 I am only being rhetorical when I ask that. I know exactly what this is, a Tesla Cybertruck. Tesla's new line of electric cars that I guess are supposed to look flashy and futuristic. And while I may not be a car guy, even I can tell that if this design is supposed to be the future of cars, then the future truly is a dark and scary place. In all serious though. This was only my second time seeing a car like this in St. Louis. So they clearly are not catching on to much here in the mid-west. Although that does raise the question of if they are catching on more so in other parts of the country? And if so then where? Just so I know where I should avoid :)

KC Wolf

 As most of you probably now I started my first "Big Boy Job" this February as an Environmental Program Analyst for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in St. Louis. During my first few months at my new position my manager invited me to attend a 3-day MDNR conference which began the very last way I expected it to, with an opening speech by the mascot of the Kansas City Chiefs. A.K.A. KC Wolf. He told us some stories about himself, mostly regarding some memorable events that have happened to him over his career as a mascot. Including the time he almost died when we fell from a zip line down onto the seats of a stadium during a half-time show. He then allowed us to take photos with him, as well as pass out a signed poster and KC Wolf tokens as souvenirs. And before you ask, yes, I took both a poster and token as well.

So I decided to take a stroll down memory lane. And sure enough. I took one look at this T-Rex animatronic near the center's entrance and I immediately got hit with a wave of nostalgia. I also wound up having good timing because the center was housing a display of Sue the T-Rex when I visited. Sue is famous among dino lovers for being both the largest and most complete tyrannosaurs-rex skeleton that has yet been found. And I've said it before and I'll say it again. As much as a love dinosaurs, I am also extremely grateful that we humans never crossed paths with them. As this reconstruction of Sue should clearly demonstrate.
