Be on the Lookout (BOLO)…

 …for this man, who flew to San Francisco two weeks ago specifically to visit the new California Academy of Sciences museum, where this photo was taken (oh yeah, and to get some miles on his airline of choice). Why? He is 30 years old today. Happy birthday! (Your gift is in the mail. I have, ahem, "responded in kind" to the gift you recently sent for my birthday. Hope you like it!)


 You may be wondering, what was he looking at in the above picture? (Besides the funny man taking the photo, that is.) Maybe this:


 

(It's some people "underwater" – there is a "capsule" on the lower level of the museum, in the aquarium, where you can actually "get into" the exhibit – essentially pop your head up into the reef display. It's pretty cool.) Or maybe this:

 This last photo is of an albino alligator. I thought it was fake when I first saw it, so outlandish an appearance it has. A placard nearby the display explained that the way you can tell if what you are looking at is actually an albino versus a non-albino white alligator (?) is the pink-colored eyes the real deal has. Oh, of course, why didn't I pick up on that sooner? J
