dinsdag 1 februari 2011 Up at 1:55. Turn on France 24. After the weather report, the news is all about The Million Man March. As the sun begins to rise in Egypt, thousands are camping out in Cairo's Tahrir Square ahead of the march due to start at 11.00 am. IN THE PAPERS INTERNATIONAL discuss "Mubarak Is Finished Whatever Happens." Even with this intense "live" news coverage, I manage to fall back to sleep. Up with alarm. Watch KOMO News. They focus on the big winter storm marching through the US. They give us views of snow in Oklahoma City and Dallas. Wow. It's only 19° in Dallas. Spicy rice and hard boiled egg for breakfast. Watch NOS Journaal (muted) with their live coverage in Cairo...

while listening to Stephanie Miller. Shower. Switch to last night's Rachel Maddow. US interests in Egypt run deep. American oil tankers are first to go through the Suez Canal.

I like Rachel's little history lesson about the Suez Canal.

With all that news, I need some fresh air... stop and smell the flowers. Perfect! I can chase the butterflies listening to Steve Scher's interview with lepidopterist Robert Michael Pyle author of Mariposa Road.

I love the story about Leona’s little blue (Philotiella leona) - one of the smallest butterflies. 10 - Cover for Patty's meetings. The 7 Seahorses have a tough transition to the playground. I take 5 of them out and leave Charmaine with 2 of them. It's a chilly but brilliant day. Misti gives me the pleasurable job of taking pictures of kids playing on the playground. The Moons and Stars are doing the Hokey Pokey.



12 - Pam's lunch. Back inside with the Sea Otters. Some of them are still eating lunch. Some are going down for naps. Some naps are easier than others. 1 - Anne's lunch. Pam deals with a particularly stubborn No Napper. It's cough & cold season. Some wake up early coughing. 2 - Patty's lunch. Charmaine leaves early and Charity covers for her. Someone wakes up with a fever. Oy! Glad to leave and get away from the germs. Streetcar to d'town. Bus tunnel to Uwajimaya. Get some Udon noodle beef and Teriyaki chicken in the food court. #545 back to Union and dump off stuff at my place. Watch KOMO News. Teriyaki chicken and fried rice for dinner. Watch MSNBC. It's about Egypt. I found this on Rachel's blog.
