It's summer, isn't it

Actual conversation my co-worker had today

Hello, how may I help you?
P-Um, yes, I'm coming to Yellowstone tomorrow. What time does Old Faithful go off in the morning?
J-... Excuse me? You were wondering what time Old Faithful goes off in the morning?
P-Yes
J- Well, it goes off about every 75-90 minutes so I'm not sure...
P- It's not on a schedule?
J- Noooo... [fading out]
P- Oh, well what time do they turn it on?

And this is what the folks at the Visitor's Centers have to deal with every day.

The cuteness continues

So, Bridgette brought The Scoop buy again today. He comes in, "Where's Jackie? Where's Jackie?" And below, is an example of why he asks.
It's 'cause Jackie is awesome! She walked him all around the library asking things like, "Do you want to touch the filing cabinet?" And then she 'd wheel him over and he'd touch it. It was so much fun.

Bragging

So, I got to play touch rugby tonight. We were inside Yellowstone, playing in front of snow-covered mountains. Green grass, brilliant blue sky and fluffy white clouds completed the picture.

Of course, there were also fresh bison droppings on the field that I kicked over twice but who cares? It was fun.
