The Show Must Go On....

Phoenix is HOT HOT HOT. all week is it supposed to be over 112. ugh. i just dont understand how people live like this. doug flew in monday night, the train arrived tuesday morning. we had a very short animal walk (thank god), and i had the rest of yesterday off. doug brought me to walmart to get food and such and then we went to the wildlife world zoo- i got to feed a GIRAFFE!!! they had the longest purple tounges ever- i loved it. doug was a little grossed out, but i was trying to stick my face as close to the giraffe's tounge as possible. we had dinner at hard rock last night, i brought home a souviner shot glass and left with great rock songs replaying in my head. today was kind of a bad day. when i got to work i heard the news that a guy a knew from the train had died in his sleep- he was only 28 years old and a real nice guy. we still dont know the cause. he was removed from the train early this morning and his body will be shipped back home. it kind of messed with me all day- put me in a state of shock. hopefully tomorrow is better- not quite so sad. as they say, the show must go on.....
