A Day at the Central Park Zoo
It was another pleasant weekend in the city. The sun was shining and
the temperature was cool except if you were in the sun. TH wanted to
go to the Central Park Zoo, and so Jeannie and TH took the train to
5th Avenue, which is the closest stop to the CP Zoo.
tickets. Admission for each adult was $10. The CP Zoo is a small zoo with limited exhibits compared with the
famous Bronx Zoo. Regardless of size, the exhibits equalled to the
ones in the Bronx. Jeannie and TH entered the Rainforest exhibit where most of the birds
flew freely in a controlled humid environment with an abundant of lush
vegetation. Some birds were easy to spot because of their bright
colored plumage. Some were above your heads. In fact, a group pointed
out there was a bat "up there". Jeannie didn't want to look because
she feared droppings from above would hit her square in the eye or
worse, in the mouth. It was best that she moved on within the
rainforest exhibit. She was also getting warm and sweaty, too. They also went to see the penguins in the Penguin House. The Penguin
House also housed some puffins but the almost everybody was crowded
along the window to the arctic environment of the penguins. Some of the outdoor animal exhibits that Jeannie and TH saw were a
pair of red pandas and the elusive snow leopard. The CP Zoo is also home to the Polar Bear exhibit, and he was out
albeit slightly hidden but Jeannie and TH saw him huddled in a corner
below their feet taking a nap. And like the Bronx Zoo, the CP Zoo also had a seal pool where crowds
can watch them do tricks for food. There wasn't a scheduled appearance
but the seals were in the pool frolicking. Admission also included entrance into the Children's Zoo. The
Children's Zoo was really a feeding zoo of sheep, alpaca, and a couple
of potbelly pigs. Jeannie and TH had a very lovely time at the Central Park Zoo but
won't be returning to it anytime soon.
Palin, politics and polar bears
"According to the National Wildlife Federation, “Arctic sea ice is especially vulnerable to changes in climate because, unlike the continent of Antarctica, which is largely covered in ice that is more than a mile thick in some places, the Arctic is a sea covered by a relatively thin layer of ice. While ice has long been present year round, and expands during the winters and recedes during the summer, climate change threatens to change the Arctic to an essentially ice-free environment during the summer.”"

My Randomizations
- It's unlike me to respond to projects like Six Random Things - unless, of course, the TaxMan comes calling.
- I was raised on a peninsula along the shores of Lake Erie and alternately in a home facing Booby Island off the coast of Nevis in the West Indies. I come by an affinity for large bodies, of water, naturally.
- I'm apt to return lacerating cynicism with scything sarcasm and piercing satire with rapier wit, respectively and respectfully, of course. And, I can clap with one hand, either hand.
- This excerpt:
"Pongileoni surpassed himself in the final Badinerie. Euclidean axioms made holiday with the formulæ of elementary statics. Arithmetic held a wild saturnalian kermess; algebra cut capers. The music came to an end in an orgy of mathematical merry-making."
from Huxley's Point Counter Point, speaks to every facet of my brain. I like it. - I once paid $35 to leap from the wing of an airplane featuring a faulty fuel line and a malfunctioning wheel lock.
- My adventuresome brother has now lived abroad longer than he lived in the United States. He once shared an ocean-bound ship with his nine polar bears and a group of Maori as they traveled along the coast of Madagascar en route to Japan where he now resides.
I often refer to him as, Jai Congo. Drop him in a Venezuelan jungle with a K-bar knife and a quantity of rope and he'll walk out laughing.
