The Text:
This week’s text is Airport, spanning from pages 69 – 71. 
Dodgson meets his mysterious inside man, going over the details of the plan, showing that there are more nefarious deeds afoot this weekend, during the inspection. 
Discussions surround:
Believe me, I know!, Island layout, Timeline, Dodgson's man, Weighin in, Elaborate security measures, Building a Mystery, and more!
Corrections:
         I was mistaken – I keep crediting Ed Regis with the line “Welcome to Jurassic Park,” which is famously said by Hammond in the film – but in reality, nobody actually says it: quote: The group followed Ed Regis toward the nearest buildings. Over the path, a crude hand-painted sign read: “Welcome to Jurassic Park” (p. 80). It was just a sign. My mistake. 
I said that Dr. Alan Grant was working at the University of Utah, but of course, I was wrong, it is instead University of Denver, in Colorado. That Morrison Formation is tripping me up – the danged thing spans across too many states – that said, of course Grant was not excavating from the Morrison Formation, it was the Two Medicine Formation (probably). 
Side effects: 
May make you feel alert and excited all day, until it's you time, and then you'll feel lousy and worn out.

The Text:
This week’s text is Hammond, spanning from pages 58 – 62.
Gennaro represents the investors for Hammond’s resort, who are worried that they will be financially and perhaps criminally liable for problems at the resort, so Gennaro has been instructed to lead a safety inspection with a collection of consultants.
Gennaro is instructed to pull the plug at the slightest provocation. We learn that Gennaro was integral to Hammond’s capital campaign entitled the Pachyderm Portfolio, raising the funds necessary to make Hammond’s dream a reality. The dream was highly speculative, unlikely to succeed – but Hammond in fact tells Gennaro – yes, they’ve achieved the impossible, and they’re going to make a fortune! 
Discussions surround:
Responsibility and safety, Heroes and villains, Hoaxes are omnipresent, the Pachyderm Portfolio, Japan, Hammond's ironic lack of self-awareness, and more!
Corrections: 
In our discussion on Dimetrodon, I said I couldn’t think of other quadrupedal carnivores or theropods, when, of course there were plenty of quadrupedal carnivores – 
A list of carnivorous tetrapods from the Permian include:
amphibians including the like 20 families of Temnospondyli which were horrifying crocodile-like frog-crocs, that came before amphibians had figured out what the heck they were doing; 
the Lepospondyli which had those bizarre, arrow-head shaped skulls; 
the Reptiliomorpha, which were of course lizard-like things before lizards settled down into being just lizards including reptile-like amphibians, and stuff that kind of look like reptiles, if reptiles were a cross between giant bullfrogs and Pitbull terriers; 
the Sauropsida, which are generally more lizard-like – though not necessarily small, and lived in the desert, the ocean, and everywhere in between, and stuff that were developing more distinctively lizard-y skulls; (these animals would eventually evolve into the dinosaurs and birds we know and love today);
the Synapsida, which includes pelycosaurs and therapsids (and the therapsids are where the mammals come from, and includes the dimetrodon we were talking about). And there are hordes of stuff that range from right out of your dreams, to right out of your nightmares. 
SO – yes, there were lots of quadrupedal carnivores, that doesn’t make dimetrodon unique, BUT, that doesn’t mean dimetrodon isn’t super cool, because it is! 
Caution: Side effects can be mild, moderate, or severe. Always consult your doctor before listening.

Intro: Latebloomer. Outro: Grow Old or Don't.
The Text:
This week’s chapter is “Plans,” spanning from pg. 52 – 58.
Grant and Sattler receive a package containing the blueprints to Hammond’s island resort, and it’s suspicious spaciousness and fortifications suggest it looks like a zoo with military upgrades. Before leaving on Hammond’s chopper, Grant must secure a fossil on Hill Four, and with the use of a CAST device, gets a good look at the velociraptor skeleton, and imagines what it must have been like in real life. Then he’s whisked away by Ellie to get to Choteau by five p.m. 
Discussions surround paleontology, Defense!, Ellie Sattler, Easter eggs, Revenues, guests and park design, and a special section comparing a scene in this chapter called: 
"… more like an oversized Turkey!"
Corrections:
Finally, and only because we spoke about the film with a bit more formality that usual, I’d like to include a lesson provided to us by Paleo Joe in the episode New York. 
I’ve always thought the scene in Jurassic Park where that kid at the dig site confronts Alan Grant on whether or not a velociraptor was scary was the dumbest, most contrived moment in film – but Paleo Joe was very good at explaining that:
A) Volunteers are invaluable at a dig site, so there it’s not out of question to have a random assortment of folks there to chip in; and 
B) when they’ve got an idea in their head, they’re incredibly bold about their observations.
So … that scene holds WAY more water than I would have given it credit. Thanks to Joe for adding new layers to my viewing of Jurassic Park that I hadn’t considered before. 
Warning: Side effects include both constipation and diarrhea. Sorry about that.
