This last Saturday
reviresco and I risked being rained on and drove down to the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Fortune smiled on us and we didn't get rained on at all (though there was a bit of a chilly breeze blowing). We spent most of the day toodling around the park (often with
reviresco ranging ahead to take pics while my out-of-breath butt sat on a bench). When set on maximum size and quality my 4 megapixel camera was actually able to get some halfway decent long-range shots. Here are some samples:
This is a view of part the park as seen from the tram (you can also see the lovely weather we had).
Here is a plumpish elephant who waddled over to the tram to say hello...
Here's an okapi.

After our zoological adventure we drove over to
no_brakes23 and
ladyazure's place where we took them (and their two grublets since we had to leave the hyenas at the park) out to dinner at Olive Garden. A pleasant time was had by all. Until
no_brakes23 forced his son to mock The Prophet (blessings be upon Him) with the crust of his blasphemous pizza, thus requiring me to issue a f'atwah against him.
After that we headed back to their place and watch Kill Bill (pt 1) and then drove home. We didn't get any rain until we hit Santa Ana, at which point it started pouring. Oh well, it's nice again today!
Oh...
Here is my contribution to the meme sheepage gripping everyone as of late.
