Been just a mite busy for the past little bit so I’m way behind.
(of course, that’s not really that unusual either).
There’s a numbe of thing I was intending to post back on, but I better go on ahead and get the reply’s for the current update out there first (assuming I’m not already too late).
So here goes…
My best guess.
And I could be wrong too.
But, if it was mechanical,
it's not likely to have fixed itself.
About as good a SWAG as I could have come up with.
May y’all not be encountering any more of that nonsense.
I was detained and forced
to pay for the muffin.
Picky, picky, picky…
Really?
You don't provide free
muffins for Canadians?
Could’a been because they suspected you of being a foreigner (also pronounced: “fur’a’ner”)
But I ‘spect it was probably just ‘cause it was you.
Remember… we’ve already confirmed you’re on the watch list for fraternizing with known national security risks.
Unjust?
You mean there’s a possibility that something within the borders of the US could be unjust?
Well I am utterly stunned by this revelation.
Not so sure ‘bout that one…
Like many things, it’s probably better if you taste it before your’ told what it is.
(At least, that’s how I got my young’en to like calamari)
Baked Alaska!
Now I want ice cream...
Me too…
Think I’ll have some with dinner.
Heck, maybe FOR dinner.
What?
D’you say something?
I had originally thought of,
well... a small zoo.
But really, it's just
a couple's home and back yard.
But a fairly sizable backyard, I take it; certainly vast when compared to mine, at least.
There was a gentleman
out front so I walked up to him
and asked if I was in the right spot.
He yelled at me, pulled out a gun
and told me to:
"Get off my d@#&%m property!"
Was that before or after he drew the gun?
From my extensive research,
they are a type of... agouti.
You're welcome.
That’s just the kind of service and attention to detail that we’ve all come to expect from you.
I felt a certain kinship
to the Red Rumped Agouti.
I remember when I was younger,
when I'd be naughty,
I too would occasionally
wind up red rumped.
Didn’t we all…
Excuse me, there…
That was just the joints in my back and neck.
They’ve seen better days, ya’ know.
Sherry asked if we'd ever seen
an Emu egg.
Of course, neither one of us had.
Have you?
(Bonus points. Have you?)
If’n I have…
I don’t remember such.
It looked more like a large gem
than it did an egg.
It was pretty cool.
Now I’m prey sure I haven’t.
Do believe something like that would’a stood out.
She told me something
that I knew...
I knew!
Would make Kay's day.
Possibly her year.
With the potential for deciding her life’s direction and ambition, I’d wager.
I had my camera ready.
Sherry preceded us
and picked something up.
She turned to Kay,
with a bundle in her arms and...
Yep…
There’s “the look”
(no, not that look, the other one…)
Neigh unavoidable consequence.
"Would you like to hold her?"
She asked Kay.
That’s it…
She’s done for.
(and you too, likely)
Umm...
I'm gonna say that Kay couldn't speak,
but did nod her head so vigorously
that it almost came loose from her neck.
Don’t even need to see a video…
The image is about as clear as crystal, here.
(you’re gonn’a get a lot of good will mileage out of this encounter, sir.)
He was really friendly.
No.
I mean really friendly.
Sherry warned us that he had...
an affinity for dark coloured shoes.
Top Tip…
When visiting the Phoenix mini zoo, wear white running shoes.
"You can scratch him
behind the ears while he eats.
He likes that." Sherry said.
So, a bit like an old dog then.
Well, except for the whole giant rodent thing, of course.
But still…
Eventually, the giant rodent
had enough and sauntered
back into his enclosure.
Saunter? They don’t sashay?
I did mention they like
to be in water.
Hummm…
Let me mull on that for a moment before I answer and I’ll get back to you.
Kay wasn't a huge fan of Becky the emu.
Likely a wise assessment as they themselves aren’t huge fans of pretty much any other living creature.
Emus, that is, not Beckys.
I’ve known a few perfectly charming Beckys,
We moved down to the end of the yard
where there were Zebu's
(type of cattle)
and miniature horses.
(type of horse)
Nice bit of clarification, there Dr. Attenborough
Frankly, I was beginning
to think he was mocking me.
Everyone else does, why would you expect different from an alpaca?
We went back inside
and Kay held the baby
capybara...
for another hour.
That’s one content young’en
Okay. Come on.
I know it's a rodent.
But... it's cute, isn't it?
All infants are cute
(well nearly all)
(more so mammals then say… insects)
(but nearly all…. It’s a defense mechanism)
But then they grow up, and…
Bonus points if you tell me
what you think.
One way or another.
Just did…
I Think.
Did I?
Yes. I had heard correctly.
$10 per person.
Bargain of biblical proportion.
There’s no way you’ll get that much goushy-melted teenager for less.
I gave her more.
Well worth it.
And I would have as well.
Humm…
These are a bit more random.
(don’t think I’ll be doing quite as well with this round)
1. chicken salad sandwich? (well that’s the one I’d have)
2. horseback riding,
3. 4
4. fridge magnet?
5. Ghost Town
6. 10-20 minutes,
7. chip and T-shirt?
8. Mexican
9. Pac Man
10. Fill it up with petrol
Bonus: Did you see it? PM your guess.
PM sent…
Hopefully in time.
I'll be back in a while to comment on some past stuff and some of the bits I've missed while I was out.
(I'd block me now if I were you. you were warned).
