So I couldn't take a picture, and you'll just have to take my word for it. For a couple of miles on the freeway, I followed a septic tank service truck. You know, the truck with the big tank on the back and the great big ol' hose. On the back of the tank, right under the name and phone number of the company, it said "Warning! This tank may contain political promises!" Honest. Really.
That is how one of the San Diego Zoo bloggers referred to this baby bear, in the context of last week's veterinary examination.
The little tank is going to be a very big tank before we know it.
After all, they found Richard III under a parking lot. (Maybe.)
Michigan police skeptical they will find Hoffa's body under driveway
The new baby in San Diego is already recognizable as a panda, and s/he is trying very, very hard to mobilize!
No, I don't know what that yellow stain in the corner is, since this camera does not broadcast in color.
Might as well get used to it... this blog is likely to be wall-to-wall bears for a while.
Bai Yun gave birth to her 6th cub Sunday afternoon. She is one of the oldest panda mothers ever at age nearly-21, and is now the most prolific panda mother in any breeding program outside of China. Congratulations to mama and papa, and cheers to the panda staff at the San Diego Zoo!
Someone presumes to correct my grammar--and they're wrong! Case in point; the exceptions to the comma-between-doubled-word rule being "had had" and "that that." Changing "had had" to "had" or "has had" changes the meaning. Worse yet, "had, had" is COMPLETELY wrong. Wrongety-wrong-wrong-wrong. Look it up. I had to, so you can too.
As one of the mandated duties of the federal government. Right next to that wall of separation between church and state.
From today's Yahoo headlines:
Anybody read in the financial news today about that big ol' merger that was announced in the medical transcription industry?
Yes, I will be involved in that. Thank you for asking.
Last time I went through a merger, I was part of the smaller company that got gobbled up by the big fish.
This time, it's the other way around. Last time's gobbler (for which I still work) will become the gobble-ee.
And even though the sale was announced today, it will not be final for 6 to 9 months, they told us, so nothing is supposed to change for at least 6 months. After that? All bets are off.
Oh, and the most fun? The announcement conference call was set for 9 a.m. . . . eastern time. Lovely consideration for the employees in other time zones (not). And they still didn't beat the press release. Facebook was hopping well before the conference began.
Yep. The fun never stops.
