Today, I used one of my vacation days. One of my many, many vacation days. I slept a little later, like until 6AM. However, I didn't stay inside all day, enjoying the coolness that is air conditioning in Houston in the summer. Instead, I ventured out of doors, in fact I hied myself down to the Houston Zoo. To see the dinosaurs.

Yes, you read that correctly. Dinosaurs. Large, extinct creatures, which, were they alive, would eat you and me for lunch. Maybe dinner, too. The Zoo has a special exhibit on, lasting until Sept. 6. At which time, the dinosaurs will disappear. However, for the duration of the summer, you too can see a little slice of Jurassic Park in the middle of Houston.

Without, of course, the mass panic that would ensue if real dinosaurs were turned loose in the nation's 4th-largest city.
