BC, that was what I was getting ready to say! As bad as this may sound, the news didn't come as a surprise. What a coinkydink, we spent the afternoon at the aquarium too, and methinks they had a few of these around there if I'm not mistaken...

That's part of what made Steve... Steve. Not saying he was wrong for what he did... but when you put it in prospective he was lucky for a very long time.I'm going to miss that guy though, he sure had a good heart and cared for the animals. My condolences to his family - they're the ones that lost the most.
