One of the photos in the news from National Geographic caught my attention this weekend. Apparently a bat that scientists were sure didn’t exist, actually does. The title of the article is: “Nonexistent” Flying Bat Discovered. And that just made me smile.
It also makes me wonder what else is out there that people have said [...]

Have I mentioned lately how much I love belly dancing? I really do. I started my third class tonight. I took my first one two years ago. And it was almost five years ago that I decided that belly dancing would be the most random thing I could ever learn. I love the fun clothes. [...]
