Good to know the right day of the week, as always. I’m also grateful to whoever came up with the gimmick for remembering the names of the types of camel (one hump or two). The two-hump camel looks like it is carrying a B on its back (B for Bactrian) and the one-hump camel is carrying a D on its back (D for Dromedary). I think we need gimmick for a W camel (W for Wednesday).

Dear Anneli, a special thank you for this explanation. I was just going to ask and now I know. I DO know that the dromedars have only one bump but this explanation is super-duper! I’m all for a W gimmick.

What an event and so close to home! Just listened to the devotion coming from the Red River Zoo caretakers–so many giving their all at this time in the helping professions! Do you think it’s easier out in the desert sands?
