My Least Favorite Peru Picture!



Marching the Hagenbeck and Great Wallace elephants in the God-Awful dead of winter!

Another busy day, my wife (now an active Face book and Blog enthusiast) needs a more convenient computer arrangement to handle her daily activities. She and Shannon were in town yesterday shopping for furniture and electronic enhancements.
Deliveries expected today plus Ryan's JV football game at Lennard High this afternoon.

news & photos of the new mower

Was there any reason to have them

out in that severe cold condition

Was it Gardner's decision or was

he likely ordered by management

This is Percy Phillips well before Gardner's days with the show.
For some reason there was never any railroad trackage laid from Peru to the quarters. I don't know the distance but I remember being driven out there some time ago and it had to be three of four miles, maybe more.
I remember my Dad mentioning elephants with frost bitten ears being common during winter time activity.
I can understand that they had to move them somehow but this event looks staged with everyone dressed up.
Might they not have taken it next to the elephant barn?

Lawn mower-wise, my banker settled on the one we first ordered but with a better deal. A new and improved version of the one I already have but with a larger engine and tighter turning radius but alas unbefitting a man of my character and flair.

In other words, just another old fart trying to see where he's going!

It seems you two might just have

to go for counseling about flair

Does it at least have a canopy

or do you need a big sombrero

Isn't Jamie just about ready to

take over the mowing
