Well, blogging is going out of style, apparently.  See http://blog.bagaki.com/.  Some people just can’t hang in there with the big dogs, I guess.

It was caught in the spamfilter.  I will post something worthwhile here soon, I promise.

Gophers Are #1, Badgers’ Season Done!

I witnessed what likely was a horribly traumatic experience for a toddler over the weekend at the Minnesota Zoo.  At the beginning of the dolphin zoo, the trainer was running through some of the fantastic facts about dolphins: “Did you know that it is legal for dolphins to drive in 3 states?” A toddler was sitting with his back to the glass of the aquarium.  The trainer enlightened us with the fact that dolphins can cruise at up to 45mph on their own and at much higher speeds while driving.  “Do you want to see how fast our dolphin Collin here can go?”  Of course we did.  So the trainer blew her special dolphin-whistle and Collin the dolphin began his power lap around the surface of the tank, kicking up a sizeable wake.   This wake was enough to cause a large amount of water to splash over the top of the tank, and directly onto the poor little toddler innocently sitting next to the tank.  He immediately ran crying back to his negligent parents sitting safely out of harm’s way in the stands while the rest of the audience laughed at the youngster’s unfortunate mishap.  Surely this child will grow up with an unnatural fear and hatred of dolphins.  It is likely that he will seek out as much dolphin-unsafe tuna in grocery stores and eat copious amounts of it, seeking the demise of the loathed species.  His parents will spend thousands of dollars on therapy trying to find the root of his dolphin-hate.  I recommend that any therapy this child goes through includes this hat:
