I find myself thinking, "wow, arctic foxes are so cute," right until I sit in their droppings.
There are millions of birds on the cliffs of St. George. That's right, I said millions. I don't know how many people can say they've seen a million living things all at once. Microscopic things don't count. I'll have to add "see a million living things in the same place at the same time" to my list of Things to See Before Dying and then check it off right away. That's what I call an instant sense of accomplishment.
Steller sea lions, for those unaware, are massive. They are the Hummer of cars, the Big Slurp of 7-11 drinks, the Costco-size of pizza. H-U-G-E.

I wonder if our customer could do that.
