I did not know that the SC VIP passes include tickets to the local zoo. Next year, maybe I will get one.

So THAT’S where Aaron Schock has been hiding!

(Side note: Looking good, Miller. Keep it up!)

Comment by Dirty Red Tuesday, May 26, 15 @ 8:59 am
Hey Rich, did you get the name of the giraffe? I keep looking at that picture and thinking he looks a lot like a former co-worker of mine, who would be about the right age to go to Summer Camp. Former co-worker is indeed the sort of dude who would wear a giraffe costume.
