Dumitri’s and Rosie

Rosie

We decided to venture over to Aurora for breakfast at Dumitri’s, a Greek-American restaurant complete with blue and white tablecloths, good strong coffee, and creative food. Tony opted for a classic meat, potatoes, and egg breakfast, while Louisa had the gyros omelet with tomatoes, scallions, feta cheese and gyros meat served with warm pita bread, potatoes, and tzatziki sauce.

We then drove back to Westminster and went to the Butterfly Pavilion. We saw a variety of butterflies and flowers, and enjoyed watching the butterfly release and learning a little bit about the different butterflies. We also saw a variety of bugs and aquatic creatures (such as starfish and horseshoe crabs). Louisa even held the 4-5 year old tarantula, named Rosie.

We then took a short walk outside, where we got to see several prairie dogs foraging for food.

Denial-of-Service Attacks and You

So you want to get World Series tickets? You REALLY want to see one of those games up close and personal? If you’re a Rockies fan looking to get tickets, I wish the best of luck to you. Paciolan, the company charged with selling Rockies tickets online (which is also the only method offered this season), claims that an external attack brought down their servers this morning. Wow… so a company that’s supposed to be experienced with high volume ticket sales only sold about 500 of the 54,000 tickets available before the system crashed? Yep, that’s exactly what happened? Paciolan, do yourself a favor and read these handy guides before you decide to try another one of these high volume sales:

To Rockies Fans: I hope that the problems are corrected by noon tomorrow when tickets go back on sale. True fans deserve to get tickets after the hard fought wins in the last month.
