I stand corrected, they were barred owls. Such gorgeous birds, and possessing such gorgeous voices too.
There were smart people in line with me today! *bounces* Went into town with my mom to get photos and a little bit of shopping done, and there were actually two of them! The photo line was very slow and I got bored. We got into a discussion about elements and I started naming off the abbreviations for all the ones my mom could think of. The guy behind us then challenged me to do them alphabetically, and because I thought I could I tried my hand at it. Part way through I got stuck (my last chem class was six years ago), so he named a couple, THEN the guy behind him joins in and it turns out that his sister actually keeps the periodic table in her wallet because she's this accomplished chemist or something. And, and... it was simply awesome that there was even one person who knew what I was talking about much less TWO.
I am going to remember this for years.
