Even I'll throw some money in the tickle-Roger pool.
What on earth is a manatee?

Add me to that pool, but only if we get to see a photo of the great act. c.i.

I'd say more like a sea lion crossed with a hippo.

Yeh, they got big hippo noses, don't they?
Incredibly sweet creatures. Thought to have something to do with the mermaid legend. Read Carl Hiaissen for much righteous outrage about how they are treated in Florida. (Sad...)

We just got back from Rusty's and had a great time. Maybe you will see more pictures soon. I'm sure Misty will post some.
And Rae is right - if you have the chance to meet in person - do it! It's great! :-)

Love the pic of Phoenix! And the caption is POIFECT.
That looks more like I imagined her. Don't ask me why -- this is all very visceral.
