Dina-Sawas!! We both grew up loving dinosaurs and Jess personally had a couple of books that were about Sue the T-rex. This 3-part holiday special has a little something for everyone: Paleontology, American and Native American history, legal battles, and (allegedly) McDonald's diabolical plot to engineer dinosaurs for super production of chickn' nuggies.

House keeping - This will be our last episode of the year, and we're planning on taking off the month of January for some R&R. We're planning to be back by Feb. 6th at the latest, but hopefully sooner.

A happiest of holidays to everyone, and as always... Thanks for your time. The dog hair is free!
