Weird how the guys and gals who dismantled the government and replaced it with whatever this thing is, are now disturbed about shutting it down.

I will soon be heading back into a career that I had experienced terrific success with for 30 years. I had hoped I would be something more; someone of consequence. But I am plain at best.

So…if the federal government can ignore the law, why do I have to pay federal taxes?

Elon Musk injected into the nation’s programs; brought to you by the guy who thought Clorox injections would cure COVID.

Congrats to Ted Cruz and John Cornyn for bringing America the most unqualified cabinet ever. Your spinelessness might be remembered forever.

Can Elon investigate red state congressmen? I see a lot of wasted funds.

I’m thinking about passive resistance against the biggest businesses in red states. Those business owners can actually get our congressman to answer a phone. My “representative” no longer answers to me.

Chilly day on the terrace today but Ripley, one of our Aldabra tortoises is getting his steps in.

Two Texas teachers we’re discussing the possibility of ICE raids in their school. Can they hide students or call them by a different name? They quickly realized they both had students in their classes who would rat out their classmates.

The NBA built the first super teams and now the Dodgers have as well.

Is that in the Trump Bible? I’m not finding it in my translation.

The neighbors are restless! Our Angolan Colobus monkeys share an exhibit next to the giraffes. Stop by and say hey to Whittley, Amira, Bettina, Whiley, Kermit, Rizzo, Artemis and Chaka Khan

Nile, one of our hyenas, was up and around on this afternoon. Nile and Sinai generally lay around during the day.

Happy birthday to Fergeson, our Hamerkop! Hamerkops are from Madagascar and according to myths, if you try to rob its nest, you’ll be struck by lightning!

And then, you let go of the bicycle and they pedal off on their own. And you watch with pride, hope and just a bit of anxiety. And you talk to God about their safety and the turns they make.

Say hey to Congo, our big giraffe. He’s a little goofy but we love him.
