My friend Katie took a family trip to Carmel, CA last week, and apparently left way too early.
While on a visit to the supermarket, her sister Claire met Betty White! Just strolling in the parking lot! Because in California, famous people are everywhere and do their own grocery shopping.
We don’t even let my Nana go to the supermarket on her own, and she’s only semi-famous.

It’s a monkey.
According to a report I read on CNN.com yesterday, a man was caught trying to smuggle 18 (18!) titi monkeys through a Mexican airport this week after authorities noted a “bulge” underneath his clothes, which led to a subsequent search. Um, no thank you.
Roberto Sol Cabrera Zavaleta, 38, was reportedly traveling from Lima, Peru, and initially hid the monkeys in his suitcase. CNN reports that the monkeys were transferred to the belt-area of his pants because Cabrera did not want the monkeys to be “harmed by X-ray machines at the airport.” CNN also reports that titi monkeys are endangered, and therefore handlers require a permit to be in possession of them.
Cabrera told authorities that he purchased the monkeys for $30. Only 16 survived the trip. That’s monkey torture, right? Where is PETA?!

“I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!” – Alice in Wonderland
