Happy Canada Day!

First off, thanks to kynn for putting together a delightful summary of the past week's rather tepid conflict.

Today was, as it is every year, Canada Day. To celebrate, Cynra and I once again took in the Metro Toronto Zoo. We did a walk around the zoo, taking in many of the wonderful creatures there. The Gorilla exhibit is always nice; the silverback male of the troop would occasionally sprint past the viewing window, smacking into it with his fist, generally scaring the crap out of anyone standing there.

We also went down to the Canadian section, where there was cake and face painting (and a clown). Many of the animals took a chance to nap in the heat. Bears and lions, for sure, we didn't see the bears. By the time we saw the leopards, they'd started to move around.

To cap the day, of course, we each had a beavertail while sitting next to a flock of Canada Geese. If that moment had been any more Canadian, I'd have been given Government weed and gotten a gay marriage, while staying out of the conflict in Iraq.

We got out before the rain started, and now 'm starting the stir fry. HCD for the crew around the world.

Another amusing thing

As Cynra & I wandered the zoo, we took in a feeding session at the Hippopotamus pen. It was quite an experience; the hippo took an entire melon out single mouthedly. However, following that, as we got to wandering the zoo, I would ask her if she got 'that ting I sent'.

Ahhhh, Birdman. Truly the greatest show ever.
