urbpanThe SFZoo story continues to develop. Supposedly authorities found a shoe and some blood between the barrier fence and the moat. That suggests that a zoo guest was within the barrier fence--If that same guest dangled his or her legs in the moat, it could have provided motivation as well as a way out (traction) for the tiger. All purely conjecture still, but there has to be an explanation for the escape, and one appears to be forthcoming.
In the uncomfortable coincidence department: My first issue of the Animal Keeper's Forum (the AAZK journal) arrived yesterday. It's a "Special Issue on Crisis Management in Zoos."
Also coincidentally, I was given a tour of some of the dangerous animal areas of the zoo today (my job requires me to be in various different location in the zoo, and so I need to know where to go in an emergency etc.) Upon entering the holding area for the big cats, the lion growfed at me, and my heart leapt into my throat.

Don't have much more to say about Bhutto's assassination. Cross your fingers that it doesn't destabilize the region to nuclear proportions.

Taking care of a puppy (nice segue, no?) means that you have access to the heartbreaking cuteness of a puppy. It also means you have to be constantly thinking about the puppy on some level, and you will sleep so much less. Another affirmation of my decision not to have children.
...
I got "Jesus is Magic" from the library. I'll have to watch it in installments when Alexis isn't home--she can't stand Sarah Silverman. I'm on the fence: I think she's unique and fascinating, but not always funny.
