Saying for the Day:

If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. ~Chief Seattle of the Suquamish Tribe,

The Days Wrap UP

Today's bridge and the last one is from Darby Park in Neenah. Look at the fine stone work.
All my children and grandchildren are here. The grandkids took over the computer room so this is my first chance to get on a computer since early this morning. They are eating. Betty, Alex, and I went grocery shopping. In the afternoon while the kids did their thing Betty and I played Lori and Pennie in Canasta. Betty and I won. Pat grilled and we had a feast. Now I need a breathing treatment.

A Bad Zoo

I took my grandsons to the local zoo on Tuesday. They loved it. I was not happy with it.
It had all kinds of animal, lions, bears, tigers ( two kinds), all kinds of birds, camels, wallabies, and an unbelievable number of animals native to Wisconsin. They also had this wonderful park area where the boys could climb and play when they were tired of looking at animals. I could see why the boys loved it.
But it made me feel sad. The zoo was an old fashioned zoo. All the animals were in very restrictive cages. There was no attempt at natural habitat. As I pointed out to the boys they had more room in the play area than any of the animals had. It just wasn’t right.
I am used to zoos like Disney has or the big zoos now have. The animals are in as close to natural habitat as possible.
There is not much I can do about it. They are breaking no law.
But I won’t ever go back.
