[GSAS-Member] stingrays

[meredith crichton <bluedooratwork@hotmail.com>]

In Ohio Stingrays were the in-thing

in Columbus: Aquarium Adventures they had custom built tank basically sitting 
in the middle of the store on the floor. The tank was about 3 feet high and 
open-topped. 

 Me and D were doing the grand tour of the store and the stingrays kept 
following us around.  They were getting more and more excited, popping up to 
the top of the tank, over and over.  We were getting progressively more nervous 
as they peeked above the top of the tank. Finally we flagged down a staff 
member, for fear the stingrays were going to make a break for it.  The staff 
gal explained  that my ever-present iced mocha looked like their food 
container: Pavlov's rays.
