Last weekend, I've been in Tuscon to visit my friend Jeongyeol Yoon. Dr Yoon and his wife are both of professors of Univ of Arizona. You can imagine how smart couple they are. :) I've carpooled with my coworker Mark Campbell since he always visits Tuscon to see his daughter, Megan. Megan is senior student in Univ of Arizona.

The State of Arizona prohibits to dig cactus. Also is this state a land of desert. Everywhere I could see only continued desert while I was driving down there. Desert Museum of Tuscon shows the life in desert. Unlike other zoo, this place exhibits lots of wierd living creatures behind strong show windows or on outdoo...
