Notes:

Lots of yawns today as folks recovered from their holiday weekends. It sounds like everyone ate too much and spent a lot of time with family and friends. We greeted new members of the 6S community today two Madagascar hissing cockroaches and two fire bellied toads. Some facts about our pets: 1) the cockroaches will hiss if threatened or if you squeeze them, 2) the toads are indeed frogs and they secrete a poison through their skins (not harmful to humans), 3) the life span of the frogs is up to 10 years, 2 or 3 years for the cockroaches.


Quote of the Day:
(Said of the roaches) "They are cute - in a disgusting way!"

Joke:

A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play with the boys?" Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough." The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, "If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?"
