I wish I could come, but I can’t be there early enough. I can’t blow off my Sunday school students. If it was on Saturday, or was starting around noon, then I could meet up with you all. Well, I will be there in spirit. I went once several years ago, when the Komodo dragon was visiting. _Big_ lizard! \*\*Horseflesh, if you can stop in to the cafe before the trip, I could have your pie, and Halloween cookies for the kids. _I said the kids, the rest of you stop drooling!_ Oh all right, I could have a couple dozen for the adult Dopers. ---

I can do that **Baker**. Do you work Sunday morning? Have we pegged a time to meet up? Should we shoot for 9 am and then wait for stragglers (which could be me for all I know, depends on the ponies)? ---

No, **Horseflesh** , I don’t work Sunday morning, I have to teach Sunday School. I wouldn’t be able to get away until about 10:30 AM, and then make the drive to the zoo in KC. That’s why you guys would already have started. I work M-F, sometimes Saturday, I go in no later than 5:45 AM(rather late for a baker actually) and get out when the work is done. If you want to call to be sure I am there before coming by email me for the phone number, or just call the library and have them pass you on to the cafe. **Wikkit** , I’m not sure I would be able to _find_ all of you. That zoo is darned big, and even if we had a plan to me, well, plans and such go wrong. Let me think about it. I would like to see the place again. I liked the warthogs best last time, Pumbaa covered in slimy mud! ---

If I need more, y’all need to be letting me know as I am buying the stuff to make the surprise things for the lil dopettes on Friday. Damn the luck **sperfur** , your pumpkin dealer runnin out on you, leaving you high and dry. ---

I’ll definitely be there - we’re now all done torturing undergrads with midterms, and so there’s nothing standing between me and the zoo! ---
