Written rather than text to speech

 At the lieberry and thinking of Orlando.


Recently-Newman the Maribou stork has been misbehaving.  They put him up to give him time to think about what he has done- (Defiantly standing by the chute and walking through when he thinks no one is looking.)

Alice the giraffe is gone- wish/don't wish I had seen the body tied to a pickup.  Would like to see the graves.  And get close to the rhino, and pat Zachary the spider monkey.  Dobby and Peppermint are gone, and my favorite Martin just had some teeth removed in hopes of being King Goat a little longer.

Two new monkeys and a new rhino, and the day I heard on the radio- hey, looks like we have a new baby impala.  Mosi was in the pen with two females, I heard Bokhari couldn't but they think Mosi did- and now a wait to see the result.

Still mad about the Sarus cranes.  When there is an animal sitting on its egg- leave it or incubate it right?  So educated they lost common sense.  Won't move the baby coming into the world out of a mud puddle for fear of interfering but take away eggs?  Give me a break, get some common sense.  Still using over mineralized stinky water for that whole side of the Park?  Really?  And feeding budgies on the ground wondering why they are stepped on.  Come one.

Let's see if anybody sees this blog while I still work there.  Probably not.


"You're only getting ONE of THOSE shirts."

"He needs all the help he can get."

"Now that I know you hate rides I'm going to put you on rides every day."

Spinning around the corner on two wheels: "Get out, it's 5:30 the Park is closed."

"No.  We put the cover on the train to protect it from the sunshine."

"You're my favorite, but..."

"Get out of the break room."  That one was the loudest.

Doing my review during my lunch.

Pretending like on time is late.

Walking around instead of in a straight line.

Not being allowed to go back to your locker or get into the locked door to get your lunchbox or a drink.

Getting to HR to sign papers and suddenly being expected to work that day.  That's a fun one.

Halloween

I saw my first Halloween deflatables just now. In the neighborhood behind the Wendy's on 13th Street, no make that 14th Street. I think they had four or five of them in their yard but they were just piles of plastic laying on the ground. It's almost Holiday season again and somebody asked me yesterday what I was going to wear for Halloween; maybe they said what are you going to be for Halloween and I had not thought of that. On Facebook today I saw someone dressed up as Starry Night and his brother dressed up as Van Gogh. Kind of weird. Cute or sad!?
