I got a surprise Valentines day present from my wife last month: a bear from Build-a-Bear Workshop. She got one for my car, actually.
You see, back when I got my first Saturn, which was the first car I bought myself, I was very excited about it. I thought it would be fun to have a representation of the other 8 planets in my Saturn. I had a Mercury thermometer, a small glass Earth hanging from my mirror, a Mars bar wrapper, and a small Pluto figurine in the back window. When we started dating, Donna helped me get a few others: postcards of Venus de Milo and Neptune. I never did get Uranus or Jupiter (although I thought about spilling some red nail polish to make a great red spot).
So for Valentine's Day this year, Donna got me a bear with a solar system t-shirt. It stays in my car as its mascot. It took a few weeks for me to come up with a name, but once I realized it should take on the name of a moon of Saturn, I just had to pick one. Most of the names of Saturn's moons sound feminine. I sort of like the names Tethys and Enceladus, but in the end, I chose Mimas.
Naming the bear after a moon of Saturn is particularly appropriate because the bear's pants keep falling down. He really needs some suspenders.
