Not Fair

I don't think it is fair that in some sports in the Olympics, one person can win 7 or 8 gold medals while team sports, like curling and hockey all those people can only win ONE gold medal. I think that people should only be allowed to compete in one game. If you are a speed skater, you get to pick ONE event. Give other people a chance of a lifetime to get the gold.

Why should people end up going home with their necks bending with a bunch of medals around them and others who are just as good an athlete if not better, goes home with ONE.

Just my humble opinion.

Wild Animals

Why are people so shocked when a wild creature that we are keeping in captivity goes wild? Is it right that we keep them for our own amusement? Can humans ever really take the wild from their instincts? And no matter how nice we make their captivity...in our terms....it isn't their natural habitat. And then to make them do tricks.
Is it their fault that their natural instincts take over if they see something that resembles prey? Of course not. The chance the human takes in treating them like pets.....which they are not.
Yes little baby lions and tigers and bears (oh my) are so so so CUTE....They do grow up to be very large and dangerous predators. And that is what they are. Predators. We think we are at the top of the food chain. I beg to differ.
We don't need to see wild animals doing tricks.
And when something happens that is totally natural for the animal, blame the humans, not the animal.

Wart Hogs....

This is a picture of the A-10C Thunderbolt, respectfully called Wart Hog by it's pilots. She ain't pretty but she is packed with firepower. She is one awesome plane.
My neighbor across the street is a Wart Hog pilot. He used to be an F-16C pilot, but now commands the controls of a Hog.
I was lucky enough to care for his family's Golden Retriever this week. And since I would not accept any kind of payment for this service, Thursday and Friday I got a Wart Hog fly-by!
I can hear them coming from upriver and have enough time to jump up on my computer chair and look out the little window above my computer and watch them fly by! I know it was my thank you for taking care of Honey...
I love it.
