Yesterday at the Zoo, Staff was busy putting up signage in celebration of the Zoo's 95th Anniversary.
As I was taking my photo, a Security Guard came over and spoke out loud, "Why doing 95? (They did 90, and 80,...)". I said, he cause "Because this is the year shit will happen! and by the 100th, the Zoo will be in good shape!"
Crossing my fingers!
Every time I visit the Zoo, there is some conversation about stuff "happening", in the wake of the recent media attention on the Zoo. Everyone is hoping there will be change as a result. If there isn't, that just confirms how messed up the whole management structure is, and that no one really cares. And sadly, I fear Our Zoo may not make it 2029.
The last paragraph of my post before last, started with the sentence, " Good grief, I have to stop here." Those of you who have been following along, may have understood that not only meant that post, but in general. I have been saying for some time that I was working towards "being done". That was not isolated to the posts I had in draft, but to Zoo blogging as I've known it. I really feel at this moment in time, and the foreseeable future, there isn't much more, or rather much different things I can say. I've been saying a whole lot for thirteen years, and much of it in repetition. That said, you all know I will never be silent!
So, those two reaction posts and that damn Madagascar one I've been talking about for six years, were all that was left. I decided to keep the MAD post on hold til the pit is done. Then I'm sure I'll have alot to say! As well, with things being shook-up, Pandas, and whatever other craziness presents itself, I'm sure I'll have some thoughts to share. But, for now, I am going to try and take a break, in the sense that, I no longer feel like it's up to me to document everything. I'll still post, but with no pressure on myself to do so.
