My wife and I went to New Orleans this past weekend, and we visited the Audubon Zoo. Of course, I had to stop by the reptile house and I got a few pictures.

Cool pics! Did you get close enough for that mamba pic, lol!?

I saw Smashing Pumpkins play in Penn State back in '97. It was a great show.

Pumpkins=best band in the world. Hands down. Wish I could have seen them in Atlanta because that's only three hours from me, whereas NOLA is 10-11, but by they announced the ATL shows I'd already scheduled time off from work. But I'm going to see them again next Friday! I was looking forward to being at the last show of the tour, but Jimmy's health is more important than that...so I'm glad he's okay

Anyway, I didn't see the white alligator this time, but I've seen him a few times before. And his brother over at the aquarium. Very cool. And I think the last time I was at Audubon Zoo, I saw their very large leucistic alligator snapper. They were feeding it and all the little kids were watching. Also cool.
