What's on my humor blog recently? About what you'd expect:
- MiSTed: The Tale of Fatty Raccoon, Conclusion or racclusion or some other variant names, as you like.
- In Which I Am Very Petty About The Suez Canal and remember how much fun the Suez Canal was when it was blocked? Those were good days.
- Statistics Saturday: Star Wars Movies versus Star Trek Movies which is one of the silliest things I've done in a long while and just wait for this coming Statistics Saturday.
- 60s Popeye: The Green Dancin' Shoes and worrying news about the Tasmania spinach crop but it is a cartoon I mostly like a good deal.
- Some nostalgic thoughts about a path not taken as I think about a fanfic I never wrote.
- What's Going On In Alley Oop? Why was Lady Worthington killed? January – March 2021 and maybe the better secondary question would have been how did Alley Oop get un-shrunk, since he started January caught in an endless shrink cycle.
- How to tell which tablet gives you which Easter egg color which I'm reposting because it can be of use to people and get a bunch of search-query hits.
- MiSTed: Brad Guth's _Venus for Dummies_, Part 1 of 3 which is the start of me vamping another three weeks before figuring what I really want to write for the long-form Thursday pieces.
We're coming near the end of the visit to the Potter Park Zoo! Want to see the last couple animals? That'll be today and tomorrow.
Oh, so that's the Dexter Cow in the background, I suppose. Up front is just ... I want to say an alpaca? I don't know for sure; it's not on the zoo's list of animals but I also can't find an organized list of what animal exhibits have come and which have gone. Their blog mentions some comings and goings --- one of the Amur tigers was transferred as part of the Species Survival Program this winter --- but not, like, the detailed list I'd like.
One of the peacocks the zoo has hanging around to add color and howling.
I'm ... not sure what these are. Tufted Deer seems likely.
More things closed off. I think this was the path to the Sensory Garden, where you're supposed to just be able to enjoy the sounds and smells of the area, and they maybe didn't want people gathering in spots they wouldn't move from.
Tortoise just making his way along the creek side.
And an extra Patagonian cavy who I guess didn't want to live with the anteater anymore.
The cavy was roommates with the tortoise and the peacock, apparently.
The Centennial Waterfall was put together by the Lansing Lions Club, celebrating their 100th year in the community too. The waterfall had been part of the aviary long ago and kept around and here, you see, it's been claimed by a giant spider.
Eagle owl is not happy with the snarky tone I've brought to so much of this.
Trivia: James Gorrell, the British Army officer in charge of the Green Bay outpost, abandoned it in 1763. The British never reestablished an official post in the area. Source: Masters of Empire: Great Lakes Indians and the Making of America, Michael A McDonnell.
