Last weekend we set up some sort of magical thing on my website. It tells me how many people have visited, and that one of them is from Sri Jayawardenapura, Sri Lanka, a city with a name so long I'm surprised it didn't bring down the server. I have never been to Sri Lanka, but it seems like a cool place. It's home to not one, but two subspecies of elephant. They also have jaguars, sloth bears, monkeys, and an animal called a mongoose that looks nothing like a goose at all.
Dear friend from Sri Lanka: I hope you are not finding the current dew point of 75 degrees too treacherous. I hope you have seen a mongoose today, and that it was docile.
In other news, there are tarantulas in the world that can grow to be ten inches, and if that fact doesn't keep you awake at night I don't know what would. Now I'm off to distract myself by finding out what a sloth bear is.
update: oh my goodness they're awesome.

I had to add a captcha because one of my posts has the word "Google" in it and it was attracting spam robots like some sort of honey-covered robot magnet.
