Because armadillos aren't all that cute in person? Although my daughter thinks they are very cute. She also thinks koalas are very cute, and actually got to hold one when she visited Australia. She has also claimed that ostriches hate her. This was borne out recently: We went to a petting zoo at the Texas State Fair. There were hundreds of people there, and all the ostriches were glaring at her alone.
The Texas State Fair is pretty cool. It's bigger than, and almost as good as, the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show in New Jersey.

Well, Texas doesn't seem to have a lot of other native or semi-native animals that might qualify for the cute list... although a quick google search of "Texas Animals" brought up a picture of Meerkats of all things... must be from some zoo.
The last State Fair I remember attending was in Minnesota... although I think I might have passed through another one with not much memory of it (in Yosemite? Maybe?).

We must keep them away from our precious bodily fluids!

With nasty heat/humidity in between. I think I saw more mosquitoes this year than during the past decade combined.
We had some great Indian summer during October, but once we crossed the November threshhold, the city suddenly remembered it was autumn. Overnight frost, brrr... good time for blankets and kitties.

I liked the rain. >.> Although I don't seem to remember the heat/humidity you complain about. Then again, I'm out in the (far) suburbs. And yes, it's been rather cool the past couple of weeks.

Meh, as stated, armadillos aren't that cute. In addition, knowing that they have A) Very Sharp Claws and B) A hellish combination of infectious bacteria all over said claws, they lose any cuteness they might have had.

tbones:

i'd like to talk about the most awesome guy in this forum.
Ladies and gentelmen, i'm honored to present........ THIS GUY!-> :psyduck:
You already knew him? why didn't you tell me this psyduck? why did you betray me like this!??!?!

Finland checking in. Pretty mild here at the moment (a few degrees below zero centigrade or high 20s in Fahrenheits). May be one inch of snow. Nothing to prevent me from riding my bike to work (it's only an 8 mile commute). Northern Indiana (=Notre Dame) occasionally got a lot more snow than we get here. Thank the lake effect! I recall that one time I was flying home for Xmas, and the forecast was "-20 F and three to five feet of snow". You bet I took an earlier shuttle bus to make it to O'Hare in time.
Last summer was pretty bad here. Further inland it climbed up to an all time nation wide high of 99 Fahrenheit (37 centigrade). If the trend continues, we may the break the century mark any decade now...
