It is official.

I am now an Oregon Zooguide. My talk on Naked Mole Rats was successful (described as 'perfect' by one veteran zooguide). I received my red shirt and got a place on the photo committee. Since it is always about ten degrees cooler up at the zoo, I'll probably be spending many a free hour up there until this heat wave passes. Now I just need to get a TB shot before I kill all of the orangutans.
