hmm Boise's finest shoot the victim

August 12, 2000/Boise, Idaho: A woman was mauled by a tiger at a fundraiser for Zoo Boise after the cat escaped from an unlocked cage. She was hospitalized in serious condition with a broken leg, puncture wounds, and a gunshot wound that she received when police fired their guns to scare the tiger away.

On Sunday I took Daine to the zoo.
His excitement was most annoying. we ran to all the animal exhibits, and ooh and awwed over the bats,
which he and I like the best.

We were standing near a Jaguar cage and one of them Jumped at him, actually hit the fence, Daine screamed and fell down it scared him so much.

I wondered if the cat thought he was going to have a little boy for breakfast, or if that is Jaguar humor....
"HEY Larry, watch this!"

I told my daughter about this, and she said, a few years ago a woman was attacked at the zoo.
so I looked it up.

Next visit to the zoo I am wearing cat proof armor, just in case.

Last night while I was explaining to the "Date From Hell" that free spirit also means, one can say NO,
and stick to it.
I am not sure how a pleasant movie watching and wine drinking session turned into a tussle.
Meanwhile during the fight, my phone decided to Call Carl...
Why? why did my phone call Dwain when we were out Friday night, and why did my phone call Carl
when I was fighting off Ninja Man.
AND the big why.... the place that I am applying for work today, the five hour interview that I am sweating.....
he is affiliated with that company.
OOH brother!
I thought as I drug him to his feet and put his coat on him, then opened the door and shoved his carcass out,
that.... this may not bode well for the interview tomorrow.
Shoot me now.
He called me when he got home and he messaged me, he apparently has no idea that it was a disaster of an
evening... if I can just lie low the next few days.
Free Spirit Indeed!
But as a wise friend once said, 'If life didn't suck, we would all fly off the planet."
SO I am off to my interview, wish me luck... or perhaps someone else's luck.
