oh. of note. the baby elephant acted just like the homeland security secretary -- picked up an adult's poop and played kick ball with a turd, then sampled bits of it. standard infant behavior, playing with poop, eating bits of poop.

i assume that kristi noem is not having a backhoe open the graves in arlington in her quest to find the leaders of antifa, as that is where there are quite a few antifa who gave their all for the united states of america that was.

jonah and i are going to #pdx today: zoo, thrifts, books, friends.
