Prickly Friend

Posted on by

Do you have a friend who is sometimes prickly, but you love him anyway?

Prickly friends have a solid operating system, but their user interface could use an upgrade.

Mud Bath

Have you ever had a mud bath?

The trusty internet tells me that mud baths relieve stress, soften your skin, and pull toxins out of your body.

How much mud does it take to give a mud bath to an elephant?

Lumberjack Dream

Posted on by

When I grow up, I want to be a lumberjack.

To practice, I’m teaching myself to do log-rolling.

My biggest challenge has been to find another elephant willing to practice with me.

Then, of course, I’ll need to move the log to water.

Hmmm. This may be more difficult than I planned.

Maybe I need a new dream.

Rhino Snake

Posted on by

How do you think the Rhinoceros Rat Snake got its name?

Does the nose look like a rhino horn?

The “rat” part of the name is because it likes to eat rodents.

It lives in the rainforests of northern Vietnam.

If you happen upon one, don’t worry, they are generally calm and rarely strike at anything but rodents or birds.

Even if it confuses you for a rat, it is nonvenomous.

A Log in the Trunk Dilemma

Posted on by

I’m not sure what to do.

I picked up a log with my trunk and was content with it until I found a much bigger log.

Now what should I do?

Isn’t there a saying about “A log in the trunk is worth two in the sand pit?”

Should I keep the one I have or drop it and try for the bigger one?

That’s what I call a dilemma.

What would you do?
