With Super Bowl Sunday on the horizon, we are involved with a fun event Sunday, February 1 in Fort Myers. Seventeen talented student groups and their teachers joined with the Edison & Ford Winter Estates to create imaginative and artistic sculptures of big bugs for a new exhibit entitled “Art & Science in the Gardens of the Estates.” As part of the exhibit’s kickoff event, a Truly Nolen mousecar and five hissing cockroaches will be on hand as well as other assorted insect-related tools for the students and visitors. We were happy the Edison & Ford Winter Estates staff invited us, because our mousecar would have felt left out if they had held a “Big Bug” exhibit without inviting him!

In addition, I will be discussing the topic of Thermal Warriors on WOAI-NBC San Antonio during the 10 a.m. central hour on Tuesday, February 3 and then the Nevada State Insect Contest on KLAS-CBS during the 6 a.m. pacific hour on Wednesday, February 4. Their websites are and www.woai.com and www.klas-tv.com, respectively. The trip to San Antonio is my first in almost two years and the trip to Las Vegas will focus on a school project I discussed in this space last week. With these two segments, I am rapidly approaching 1,000 television appearances!

Our voice on Twitter, @TrulyNolen, has laid down the smack and made his Super Bowl prediction – His Home State Arizona Cardinals 27, the Pittsburgh Steelers 20. So what if the Steelers have yellow in their colors? We’re based in Tucson, so go Cardinals! And speaking of Twitter, thanks for the love, @FranchisePick: http://www.franchisepick.com/truly-nolen-the-truly-outrageous-mouse-limo/

Be safe, stay dry, and hope you all have a buzzing day! The Mousecar is riding around with his windows down, looking for more friends on Facebook and tweeps on Twitter – interested?
