Quiet Birthday

For my birthday, we had a double feature. Went to see the Dead Sea Scrolls. Very cool exhibit, though I wish they had a couple of the secular scrolls (writings about daily life, etc.), instead of all biblical scrolls. Still, very interesting.

Also went up to D&J's for some football watchin' on their Sunday Ticket. Very pleasant day with them and their puppies.

And One Makes Five

Another new baby elephant, this one born Wednesday. Then we get a break. We might have another one pregnant, but as she is not far enough along for them to actually tell us, it's on the DL. So, for those of you keeping track:

Vus'Musi (m) 2/23/04
Khosi (f) 9/11/06
Impunga (m) 3/11/07
Kamile (f) 9/19/07
?????? (f) 11/28/07

That means the herd of 7 that came in 2003 has almost doubled already. This is why they came to us. Swaziland had an elephant overpopulation. Give the newest ones around 10 years and they will have at least 2 more siblings each and will be at the very beginning of possibly being able to breed themselves. That's a lot of elephants.
