Our family lives fairly close to Cincinnati, so several times each year we visit the Cincinnati Zoo.
Not so much in the summer, though. Too crowded, too hot...
Being one of the oldest zoos in the country means there are a few very interesting buildings and displays, our Reptile House being the very oldest in the country. Please watch this video:
Every single time we visit, Dave and I look up at the dome and wish we could've seen it in her day! Now, it seems, we will be able to!
I've felt sort of blech, apathetic and unable to focus on a 'serious' post lately. Plus, I've had a lot going on at home... And it's not just gearing up for Christmas, either!
So with the total lack of will to post anything political even though there is plenty of material, I've decided to put up a couple versions of a couple of my very favorite Christmas carols.
After the terrible story in KC this week, Bob Costas had the gall to get on the air during halftime and show his ass:
Ok, I know what you're thinking... Unfathomable? Um... Sure Bob, we all hate glurge reporting...Oh, oh... This is starting to sound kinda sanctimonious and leftist agenda-driven...
Or, oh, crap. Someone forgot to give grandpa his meds.
'Current gun culture'? Perhaps if the victim had participated in this 'culture', she'd be alive right now.
Young teens fighting over music in parking lots? Where are their parents? How did they purchase weapons? I though current gun laws forbade the acquisition of weapons by minors? Is this the only reason why urban yoooooots are murdering one another?
Handguns sure as hell do enhance my safety. I've had a couple of instances in which I was very, very glad to be in possession of one! It's pretty hard to exacerbate a flaw when an attacker leaves you dead, and it is pretty hard to avoid conflict with someone who is dead-set on doing you harm without one!
Here is what I believe... If the severely mentally ill Belcher did not possess a handgun, he would've found another method to murder his girlfriend and commit suicide... Whether by knife, rope, or bare hands.
Which do we outlaw next? I wonder what Nicole Brown Simpson would say?
I rarely watch 60 minutes, but the program last night caught my attention. I know it's a bit long, but please do watch this video; notice how the reporters and 'scientists' regard human children and the language used to describe them, and the suppositions applied to them...
