Perhaps They Will Quit Talking About "The Blizzard of '78!"

For all of you in the frozen wasteland I am sending a little color and sunshine.  Yesterday we went to Gainesville and visited the Florida Museum of Natural History, which is home to one of the largest butterfly collections (both live and specimens) in the world.  The cool thing is that they've created this crazy (read as unrealistic) environment that has butterflies from all over the world living together.  So there were butterflies from Madagascar, Indonesia, and the Amazon all on the same plants.  Where else will you see that?  Sorry Cara, if you are reading this, there are a few "bugs on flowers" photos coming up... but I would never dream of passing them off as "art."  Enjoy.  Tomorrow we are visiting the Tennessee Aquarium and stopping to have coffee with a friend in Nashville.  From there, mainly just trying to get home without getting snowed in anywhere.
