Walking Around Fosdic Lake While Thinking About Birthing A Giraffe And Going To Durango

That is Oakland Lake, also known as Fosdic Lake, in the picture. I have not been able to learn why it is called Oakland Lake Park, with another sign talking about the ecological issues involving Fosdic Lake.

I'm losing my enthusiasm for going swimming every morning, though I did so this morning. I had a rough night. Nightmares about giraffes birthing babies.

A friend of mine, who specializes in interesting, but disturbing videos, sent me a link to a video of a Masai Giraffe giving birth. First the hoofs come out, then the head, then the baby drops 6 feet to the ground. I've never been a farmboy. I've never seen such a thing.

The giraffe birthing was not as disturbing and sleep disruptive as the video from a week or two ago of the guy pulling a woman apart, with the upper half pushing herself away using her arms.

I am guessing that the 'Free Hug' video the disturbing video specialist sent me this morning is going to give me nightmares tonight.

I virtually went to Durango this morning, among other places, before escaping from here for a bit to bask in the natural sauna.

Watch the YouTube video below if you've not attended a giraffe birthing before. It's a pretty impressive work of Mother Nature...

  1. I'm gonna go out tonight and see if I can drink enough to successfully walk like a newly born baby giraffe!

    That would be cool!

  2. I've seen you walk like a wobbly baby when you get a case of the vapors. No alcohol needed.

  4. Good plan, Miss CT2. Gar and adult beverages are not a good mix. He quickly has synaptic misfire issues.
