I'm a student teacher in a fourth grade class here at one of the local
elementary schools and the students are making state reports these weeks.
One of the students, Sean, came to ask me why states don't have a state
dinosaur.  This made perfect sense to him.  I told him the truth: I have
no idea, Sean.  Why don't you try to find one for your state?  And so
he did.  Sean picked the ... (sorry, forgot the name) for Arizona.  The
animal has a big screen on it's back to cool down so that was good for
the weather in Arizona, Sean told me.  Greetings,  Milos van Leeuwen
