Puttin’ the T into I.T.

Recently, a new neighbor has moved into our neighborhood and thankfully, he’s not a “tweaker”. He’s a cute little marsupial (well, not that little). I have not named him yet but I have taken quite a liking to him and I think he is getting used it to me also. Tonight was the first time he was photogenic for me.

I have a huge affinity for animals. I love them more than people, true. In fact, one of my friends and I had a conversation once, built around a scenario of a burning building. There’s a human trapped inside but also a cat/dog, who would you save first?

It was pretty much a non-stop hike so I didn’t get to take as many pictures as i would have liked to. Overall, It was a great evening though. I have a few pics from my crappy camera phone below. Next time, I will bring a real camera so I can capture the awesomeness.
