They were having kids activities at waterworks park, so I put on my blue jeans, white t-shirt, and bright red Prada sneakers and headed over to see the petting zoo. I petted puppies, kitties, bunnies, and a llama, and I learned that the pair of animals that look like someone crossed a kangaroo with a capybara are Patagonian cavies. After that, I bought some groceries at Everybody's Whole Foods and drove home. There will be fireworks tonight at waterworks park, but I will be in bed, blissfully and Vedicly, fast asleep.
