When we were at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo yesterday, one of the exhibits we saw was the penguins. There were at least 20 of them posed on a rocky ledge, looking adorable of course. We commented to each other that they must be miserable in this hot weather, but this evening on the news, in a segment about the zoo, I learned that this isn't true at all. These penguins are from South Africa, with a climate very similar to our own. In fact they have to be kept inside if the temperature dips below 32 degrees and the water they swim in isn't heated or cooled, just kept at it's natural temperature. So, the next time you see these penguins at the Zoo enjoy their antics but don't worry about them getting over heated.
And speaking of things heating up, our family Mexican Train marathon continued with six of us playing, and, not that I'm the least bit competitive or anything, but I did come in second, while the friend who has been beating me at Gin Rummy mercilessly for the last few weeks came in tied for last. It's a little taste of revenge.
