I also love the idea that over 500 babies are born at the WAP each year.
I love the idea that they're not talking about the animals. "Darling, we have to get to the delivery room now!" "But I haven't seen the burrowing owls yet! Just one more-- ooooh, that was a big one..."
Ha. no they were talking about the animals.
I'd like a baby rhino and a baby giraffe.
are you shocked that we didn't go see the condors
Well, the condors are right next to the bighorn sheep and I love the bighorn sheep (I saw two in Joshua Tree
Monument National Park!!!!) so I go there first usually.
But I agree with the going early and often to the Zoo and WAP with memberships.
I love all of the babies at both places. Makes me feel like we are doing something to help out the animal world instead of just destroying it.
I reckon Jack Bauer has the most vanilla of sex.
I reckon he cries a lot afterwards. But in Australia we recently got up to
Jack torturing his girlfriend's husband, and I swear I saw a glimmer of recognition in Audrey's eyes.
He's been through too much trauma, it has to have affected him. Plus, in the words of Jeff, all I'm saying is why reject the only evidence we have?
I'd like a baby rhino and a baby giraffe.
You realise that you can't just mate a giraffe with a rhino and expect this result, right?
I say I say I say. What do you get if you cross a giraffe with an alsatian?
A watchdog for the 8th floor. Ba dum.
I love the early AM animal visits (we've seen Tigers at both places, but the zoo one is impossible to see at any time after 10:00, I hear).
We've seen bighorn sheep in the wild, even in the canyon you drive between Nevada/Utah on the 15. They're pretty amazing. Next time, we'll definitely go see the condors and sheep.
We were busy with the super charismatic megafauna.
You realise that you can't just mate a giraffe with a rhino and expect this result, right?
Yes. I realize.
Also, I realize you can't just scoop up a baby rhino because they feed with mom for 2 years before they are weaned.
Rhinos are painfully cute.

Man, that's bullshit. I bet they aren't even cute anymore after two years.
Ha! I was thinking human births too, bt.
Jesus. Christ.

NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them."
The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio's "Marketplace" program.
She was part of a group in Houston today at the Astrodome that included her husband and former President Bill Clinton, who were chosen by her son, the current president, to head fundraising efforts for the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were also present.
In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston."
Then she added: "What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this (she chuckles slightly)--this is working very well for them."
