We've got fun and games. Wendi (alternate alien pseudonyms: Wenid, Idwen, Endiw) and I took a nice spin through Jungle Habitat today. It was raining and smelled thickly of seasons changing, a superb amalgam for the senses. Midway through the ride I noticed what I thought was a fly crawling out from the vents in her helmet, but with a closer look my eyes adjusted to see a spider donning a spiked egg sack plotting her way across an intricacy of web-laden helmet. Gross because it was on her head; cool because the assumed egg sack came equipped with its very own means for impalement. Not even an infomercial could offer that kind of prenatal protection. Score 'plus 2' for the ingenuity that is Mother Nature. After observing, and becoming both disgusted yet intrigued at the same time, we carefully removed the spiked punk from her helmet and continued on our way. Other animal highlights of the ride included the following unconfirmed and somewhat vague eyewitness sightings: three ferocious bear, or three sweet Bermese Mountain Dogs accompanied by their master; a massive, man-swallowing python, or the umbilical chord of a tree; seven monkeys; and, of course, a donkey.
