The other day, a man was killed and two were mauled by a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo. The “men” were reportedly teasing the animal and throwing rocks. If so, they deserve to be attacked. I feel sorry for the tiger; it has to live in confinement its whole life, then gets shot dead by police. Most people will blame the zoo, I’m sure, but I’m confident that the victim is to mostly blame.

Strange how people can be so dumb with such obvious things such as large predatory animals. Like just a week before, a man in India died from blood loss after suffering injuries from a Tiger after sticking his arms in the zoo enclosure (to take a picture). Not too smart.

Tigers are cool.

Got an email a while back from an old friend back home in Michigan. Yes, it was one of those goofy lists, but many of them were funny. I’d modified a few of these for the better.

You know you’re from Michigan when…

• You find 32 degrees “a little chilly.”
• You drink pop and bake with soda.
• You know what a “Yooper” is.
• You go to Canada on your 19th birthday.
• You think owning a Toyota is un-American.
• “Vacation” means going up north on I-75. You measure distance in hours.
• You can drive 65 mph through a feet of snow during a raging blizzard,
  without flinching.
• You design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
• You know it’s possible to live in “the thumb”.
