GeoChicken searches for his mum

Hello! GeoChicken here again...

When Tiggr took me to Canada last month, I begged her to see if I had any relatives nearby. We went to the Calgary Zoo (a very nice zoo it is, too) to see what we could find.

Below are a few of my potential relatives... Which do you think looks most like me?

First, we have some flamingos. The color is not quite right, but at least they are birds.


I'm not sure a Vietnamese Pot Belly Pig is a relative, but it was very friendly!

The ostrich sort of resembles me, don't you think?


I think this one wins by a.... nose...
What is your favorite zoo? San Diego? Columbus? Bronx? London? 
Why do you like it?

NaBloPoMo?

Just a quick post whilst sitting in the USO up on the Mezzanine level of SeaTac (Seattle-Tacoma, WA for you feriners). Just to prove that it's probably a good idea that the fate of the free world is NOT on my shoulders anymore... 

I have a six hour lay-over on my way home from Calgary to Boise. I knew this, and figured I'd be paying for internet while in the airport. I went directly to the USO, as they have the really comfy couches, sandwiches, etc, and I could nap with my carryon bags in a secure closet if needed.

I bought the internet, at $7.95 for 24 hours (not like I'm going to be here that long... I hope...).
Maybe it's because the USO is not near any departure gates, but the wireless PAID internet has a very weak signal up here. Therein lies the rub...

I've been in here for 3 hours, grrrrr, and have just noticed the WEP key for the "USO's" FREE wireless internet... oh, and their internet is full strength too... double grrrrrrr...

I will try to post everyday this month, and it should be quite easy (HA!) as I have at least 30 pics from my vacation to Calgary.

Please enjoy and comment if you wish.
