The zoo is at its best in the middle of summer, but unfortunately it's so fucking hot that you can barely make it from one end of it to the other. In spring they close a lot of exhibits because of breeding seasons and such, and this year in particular they're upgrading a lot of habitats. If you had been there this time last year I think you would have been more impressed.

yeah, the panda was knocked up or something and the panda house thing was closed, so was the elephant house, but at least one elephant was out.

I was also annoyed that the capital building tour only let you into the rotunda and the old house chambers. They had the old senate chambers closed to the public for some reason. and since I missed my tour of the library of congress and didn't have time to wait around for the next tour, they wouldn't even let you into a lot of the place because the "official" tour was in progress, which is bullshit.

I've always wished we could have vacations during the end of spring or beginning of fall. To me, those are the best times... temperate, sweaters are optional.

I hate being hot, and being surrounded by bunch of people... like, the zoo...
not that I don't have fun, but-- gah-- it's like being suffocated with an air dryer in some places.

Although, I guess it depends on the part of the world you're in too...

Agreed. I remember going to the old Nashville Zoo at Joelton, TN when I was a kid, and even though it was warm, it wasn't stifling hot or crammed with people to the point of being uncomfortable. It was just a nice day out.

The St. Louis free zoo? I will never do that again so long as I live.

Well, the reason the zoo is best in summer is because a lot of the animals are more active and a lot of displays that are closed during mating seasons and such reopen. And in this part of the country it's not so much like a hair dryer as being smacked in the face with a hot, wet towel - massive humidity.

I'm beginning to question the wisdom of taking Kava Kava for my back.

On the upside, I'm not in pain at the moment. I'm about a 1 or 0 on the pain scale, and the buzz I had was fantastic. Wikipedia likens it to alcohol or a stiff dose of Valium, and I'd have to agree with them.

One the downside, I feel like I've been on a rollercoaster. My stomach is upset, I'm nauseous and dizzy, and as soon as I hit "Post it!" I might have to go and have a quick word with the porcelain God in the next room. I would advise anyone who would have a justifiable need for this stuff to stock up on peppermint tea and Dramamine before taking a dose.

I saw Richard Dawkins riding on a bike whilst I was in Oxford and I was about to shout his name but he had sped away.

On the other hand, it could have been one of the other thousands of people from Oxford who look like Richard Dawkins.

Of course, my warped little mind looked at the Richard Dawkins quote and immediately started churning away at ideas for how to troll the guy to see if he would fall off his bike in a "WTF?!" reaction.

I'm weird that way, sue me.

Also, this. I want to stalk her. And Seven. And Seven's Porn Star twin sister.

I was near his place of work and he was probably doing work at his office. Oxford is a small city, so I could bumped into him but you could be right though.

What are the odds that a dog lover might get offended by this?

After all I'm playing a game with that dog and scored a perfect game.

Is it bad that the only time she'd take a bath is when it rains?

Chat roulette...
it's a mind fuck

basically 100000 dick shots. all of them waiting for a girl to come on.

I talked to 1 guy from china, very nice... we had an okay conversation.

Omegle is better-- people keep flagging me for breaking the rules, but-- I'm not doing anything wrong.

God save me, I've spent 4 hours chatting on omegle...

sooooo many penises...
but you can find a good person to chat maybe... after...53 clicks.

random webcam chatting is just CRAZY-- for some reason, my bald head gets a lot of comment. Always the same joke, "I love your hair."

so lame.

I saw a guy with a shit loads of guns and knives and shit on that. The chap with a cap, a baseball bat and an AK-47.

There is never an excuse to go to Pigott Arkansas.

EVER.

Not even the death of a close relative, such as an aunt.

We kept foolishly asking for directions, only to be stared at with a look of bewilderment by people WHO ONLY HAVE ONE GODDAMN ROAD FOR STUFF TO BE ON.

On the bright side, I got to catch up with the white supremacist side of the family. Apparently there's a black guy in Kennet Missouri, so they all had to move to Piggot before their blue eyed little girls started having brown babies falling out of their asses.

I think I'm going to go home and smoke pot until I forget there's still 6 billion of you fuckers left to watch croak it.

wow--
I feel horrible.

I made a kid cry.
An ugly very obese kid, but a kid nonetheless...

So I was doing the roulette webcam thing, and I get a bunch of kids, and they say, "hey--it's the fat bald old guy,"

27 is not OLD.

And I role my eyes and say, "You're the kid who needs braces and a diet." Granted that I shouldn't had said it...

I did.

They cuss me, and I'm shrugging my shoulders, and he says, "I'm not fat, I lost 5 pounds."
And I said, "I don't believe it."

And he cries.
Like-- sobbing.

What's funny is how really ugly people look at you and cringe, (and thus exacerbating their ugliness 10 fold.) Granted that I'm no model, but I'm not exactly hard on the eyes either. It's just fucking bizarre when you got a teen with 20 chins, acne, bags and dark circles and cringe.

I'm going to develop a callous on my soul, just you wait...

My birdies eat Harrison's Coarse Grade Pellets. Seeds isn't healthy for birds (unless they're the wild ones.) Seeds is too fattening for a dove who basically roosts all day. But for a morning dove who scavenges for seed-- they need the energy.

I'll go with any wild bird seed mix you can pick up at the grocery or hardware store... and just toss it among the plants.

you know that lamb (or cow) scene from Jurassic Park? Same principles apply.
Morning Doves don't want to be feed-- they want to scavenge.

You could probably mix up the seeds in whatever place that you have grit-- doves love to search through grit.

I tried hatching the babies but it didn't work. Now my dad found a dead dove. I don't know if there's an animal nearby after them or what. For that matter, what DO doves eat? There's not much vegetation by my house.

They're scavengers... they'll fly EVERYWHERE, so they don't necessarily build nests near their food sources. They're like pigeons, but-- they do it in nature instead of the urban settings. But those birds are clever. I've seen pigeons and doves eat small berries in trees.

ahhhh---
I hate hearing about dead doves-- even pigeons for that matter.

I know that people think of pigeons are pests-- but they're suppose to make better pets than doves. They bond more easily...

Last night, I was walking home-- and I heard the squeeks of squabs. I found some pigeons had made a nest on the air conditioning unit of a building. Seeing those baby pigeons made me remember of Sonic, the pigeon I saved years ago. Wished I kept him (or her)-- but... too many birds at this stage of my life.

Two things, and they concern my two favorite subjects; women and guns.

Yesterday at work I met one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She was about 5'3", slender build, stacked, and had long black hair... she was proportional to someone like Carmen Electra or Megan Fox. And I am not in the least bit ashamed to say hat she was latino and spoke very little english. Her husband married way above his class. And I pity her three year old son, because you know his friends are going to give him a complex about her when he hits his teens.

Also; I just made the purchase of a refurbished Viridian SR9 brand green laser sight. They normally retail for between $150 and $250, I got mine at a local pawn shop for $50. It's meant to go on a Ruger 9mm Pistol, but I'm going to try and work with it and see if I can mount it to my shotgun for home defense. Or, I'll just buy a Pistol to put it on. Or use it to torment my dogs with...

Could you explain something to me. I've never understood the villian of the show, the cheerleading coach. Are the cheerleaders somehow threatened by the glee club? Is there compition as to funding? I don't get it.
