The Dexter Library hosted a wildlife show focusing primarily on marine animals.  there was a touch tank featuring a variety of sea life for the kids to observe and touch, and the Animal Guy — no foolin’, that’s what he wanted to be called! — had several other fascinating creatures to show the kids, including a toucan (who, sadly, had no Froot Loops) and an alligator (who claimed not to know Urban Meyer).

The Jiffy Redemption

During a recent viewing of the movie The Shawshank Redemption, my eagle-eyed sister made a surprising discovery.

In a scene near the end of the movie, Morgan Freeman is bagging groceries; as the camera pans, a shelf full of products is visible just beyond Freeman.  Here’s a screenshot from the scene:

See those boxes on the shelf?  If you’re from Chelsea, you may have already recognized Chelsea’s well-known export, the famous blue and white box:

It’s impossible to tell which Jiffy Mix is in the boxes, but it certainly looks like the famous blue and white boxes from Chelsea Milling Company are sharing the screen with Morgan Freeman!
