ABOUT THAT VOTE THING!

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

WHOA! In case you think that vote of yours doesn’t count - how about these election results? The country has sent a clear message of dissatifaction with the status quo. Now let’s just hope some things begin to happen! I personally am thrilled with the voter turnout. I worked yesterday in […]

DID YOU VOTE?

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

I DID! Did you?
And all I got was this stupid sticker…… oh well……

Just kidding! It is really important that you vote - otherwise you just can’t legitimately complain about the ways things are unless you exercise this incredible privilege to vote.

ANSWER TO POLAR BEAR QUESTION!

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

NO, a polar bear would never eat a penguin in the wild! Reason? Because all polar bears live in the Northern Hemisphere and all penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere!
Did you get the right answer?

POLAR BEAR QUESTION FOR YOU!

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

I am working on the pictures from my magical trip to Churchill, Canada, to see the polar bears but in the meantime I have a question for you! In my work as a docent at the Los Angeles Zoo I have asked this question many times over many years and have gotten very few […]

I am soon to embark on a wonderful adventure. Travelling to Churchill, Canada, to see the polar bears has long been a dream of mine and it soon will be a reality! My trip takes me to Winnipeg then to Churchill where we will talk to the bears from a tundra buggy, participate […]

PAPER CLIPS!

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

I watched a fascinating little movie called “Paper Clips” yesterday.

With the leadership of their teachers they decide to collect 6 million paper clips […]

PANDA BABIES GALORE!

Friday, September 29th, 2006

I was looking over my blog posts recently to realize that I have posted about pandas four times! But they really are cute and here are six more panda cubs just beginning their lives at a panda breeding and research station in China’s Sichuan province. Sometimes I wonder about all these panda cubs being raised […]

9-11 ANNIVERSARY!

Monday, September 11th, 2006

It is almost unbelievable that five years have passed since the attacks on 9-11. My sympathies are with all those that lost loved ones on that horrendous day. But then that really includes everyone out there - I didn’t lose a family member but I lost 3000 fellow US citizens.
But I have […]

THE CROCODILE HUNTER HAS DIED!

Monday, September 4th, 2006

Today we lost Steve Irwin that we knew as the “Crocodile Hunter.” Just 44 years old, he was filming a segment for a series called “Oceans Deadliest” off the Great Barrier Reef and received a fatal sting to the heart by a stingray. He was absolutely passionate for wildlife and […]

ANOTHER BUSHISM OF THE DAY!

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Brian was commenting on Mr. Bush’s reading list for the summer and remarked that there was a wide variety of material to which the President commented, “Yes, I am a “ek-e-lectic reader”! Now I […]
