Our friends at the Patience Wright Chapter of the DAR awarded Ryan a Community Service award today!
The crew from Globo TV came to the USA and filmed Ryan. We don’t speak Portuguese but we thought it came out pretty cool. Thank you Globo!

Thank you to my friends at Busch Systems who sent me recycle bins (and a new shirt) all the way from Ontario, Canada! We’re going to drop one set at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center this weekend and the others will be replacing my old bins. I looked on their web site and they sure do make a lot of different types of bins.
