The Dallas World Aquarium

Last night for dinner about a quarter of the Public Administration Class of 2005 at the University of Kansas had dinner in Dallas, Texas. During the course of normal dinner conversation Kate observed that more students from the Class of 2005 work in the State of Texas than any other state. Only one student from the Class of 2005 is not working at either the local, regional, state, or federal level of government. After graduation, one student made the choice to pursue the acquisition of knowledge through the journey known as higher education at Walden University. Making the choice between working in local government and staying in school to endeavor to understand the world by pursuing knowledge was not without consequences.
Part of the dinner had that getting the band back together feel and the rest of the dinner was about understanding and sharing differences in decision-making. A major topic of conversation during the dinner involved trying to understand the major life event of buying a house for the first time. Issues under discussion ranged from the tidal wave of unexpected expenses to the tendency to overspend on renovation projects.
Kate thought it would be a good idea to visit the Dallas World Aquarium. Before the trip to the Dallas World Aquarium even started, rain fell in Dallas, Texas. Jimmy decided to plan a late breakfast at the Café Brazil before heading downtown to the Dallas World Aquarium. For some reason, the Cafe Brazil was busy enough to have people crowing the entryway to purchase overpriced coffee and breakfast snacks. Oddly enough, similar food was actually available at the Dallas World Aquarium. From the artificial habitats to the underground aquariums, the entire building design revolved around a walking tour. Tickets to see the Dallas World Aquarium were highly overpriced and the number of habitats outnumbered the aquariums. Perhaps the Dallas World Aquarium should consider changing names to reflect the focus on habitats instead of aquariums.
