GO BY THE National ZOO quick : at the end of this week because of budget cuts there will no longer be the Invertebrates building and department open! They may be moving to another building and still exist in some form but that was unclear last night as I was leaving the Zoo and I ran into our dear customer Randy ( of Randy and Sandy fame : you might know them already well? ), and he told me this latest news. He volunteers like Les and so many of our customers do. He was going for a training class of birds. He's at the Big Panda building-complex now watching them on the t.v. screens , monitors them and ensuring their safety and well-being, etcetera. Wow, this is devastating news about the Invertebrate Building. I love it. I really do, always have. ... I just talked to another Sandy's friend, a good customer here buying the Ruby Red DEEP EDDY and I told her about this and she and her children know all about the Invertebrates department and the anemones as you walk in and the octopus, ... and she said : " So they just did this quietly? " I do not have the answer.
But talking about Sandy, there's another Sandy that has worked there forever and that used to come and buy the MIONETTO Merlot from us from Italy years ago because they had a wonderful picture of an octopus on it that reminded us all of Sunny the Octopus that reigned supreme for so many years at the Invertebrates building and that I took our children to see and that they loved, too, fed and watched from outside and specially from above at feeding time as Sandy and the other Invertebrates staff that we loved - including Alan the chief - were so nice to us when we visited, and they forged a bond for me that stands the strongest for me with the National Zoo : me and the Invertebrates - and I will always cherish this time and I want here to : MAKE SOME NOISE and get them to keep the building and department open, alive and thriving.
I was just there a couple of Wednesdays' ago and loved what I saw between the anemones that blew me quite literally away when I entered, to my left, and the other magnificent invertebrates including the spiders and their webs, as well as the couple of butterflies as I left flitting around ever so daintily-gracefully from one flower to the next. PLEASE SHARE this and go today and tomorrow and lets' see what we can do, late as it may be, let's all MAKE SOME NOISE! Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn Thursday morning, June 19th, 2014 ...

What are the chances that three people all named Sandy came up in this blog post?!? I do love it, so wonderfully amazing and random yet important ... TONY
