The new poster child for climate change had his coming-out party in June 2012, when Petey the puffin chick first went live into thousands of homes.

 cue stream of consciousness from dot calm...

i never knew there was really

such a thing as a puffin...

when i was a kid i learned a song...

oh, there once was a puffin in the shape of a muffin

and he lived on an island in the bright blue sea

he ate little fishes that were most delicious

and he had them for supper and he had them for tea

then along came the fishes and they said if you wishes

you can have us for playmates instead of for tea

so they all played together in all sorts of weather

and the puffin eats pancakes like you and like me!

everybody...

oh, there once...

obviously, i don’t have enough to do...
the basket weaving just isn’t cutting it...

g’nite
