I tried to upload pics of Havasupai yesterday... but it didn't work, and then I had to go work. I'll try again soon.
But on Saturday- Paul and I went to go meet one of Paul's heros. No, not Michael Jordan...
E.O. Wilson.
Two time Pultizer Prize winner and the world expert on ANTS.
He signed books afterward and Paul told him he was using one of his keys on his ants from Maupiti research. Dr. Wilson just lit up and got really excited about. It was fun to see Paul meet him.
Also at the event (it was at Sundance) was Robert Redford. So that was cool I guess, but he's kind of a cocky guy. But everyone there just calls him Bob...
The thing we thought was funny... was "Bob" was talking about conservation and all this stuff, and what he's done with Sundance. The fact is, many years ago, ole Bob wanted to leave part of a set he built on government land in Price- as a tourist attraction or something- well Paul's grandpa, who worked for the governement and did land preservation, fought him on the issue and didn't make Bob very happy.
But apparently now he's all into saving the earth.
Anyways, it was cool to meet E.O. Wilson. Read his books.

And since we finished listening to Harry Potter 6 on our long drives to Arizona and Nevada... we finally went to see it on Saturday.

It made us appreciate books.
