I don’t know why I thought leaving a pair of wet athletic shoes in a fully-sealed car on a hot, summer day might be a good idea.

It wasn’t.

Westminister Butterfly Pavilion: Saving the world

The Butterfly Pavilion over in Westminister is understandably a hot spot for school field trips.

Mmmmmmm. Saving the earth, one slice at a time. Photo by WayTru.

As a way to get the kids to start thinking about their role in preserving our natural environments, the staff had strung up hundreds of “vows” made by the kids and their teachers regarding their commitments to change a lifestyle habit and think more about being green. One determined little guy’s promise stated: “I will recycle … and I will eat more pie.” I’m not sure what the latter has to do with the former, but I’d say it’s an admirable quest just the same.

Department of Motor Vehicles, Boulder

A few distinct personality types seem to be ever revolving through the DMV doors. Here’s a short run-down for you:

Yup ... this is pretty much the crowd. Thanks to Zoom Zoom on Flickr.

1. The talker: She (it’s likely to be a she) is the person carrying on a conversation (often quite loudly) with another person who quite obviously has no desire to be in said conversation.

2.The techy: This is the person juggling multiple electronic devices at once–iPhone and iPad; Blackberry and Kindle; Android, Macbook  and iPod; etc.

3. The whiner: Likely an individual who stands only hip height, this little person got dragged along on Mom or Dad’s errands.

4. The peeved: Irate because of even the most minimal line, he makes his irritation obvious by eye rolling, foot stamping, talking under his breath and perhaps an outburst of some sort.

Who’d I miss?
