GLOBAL WARMING?

It is 7:07 degrees, oops don't we wish. It is 7:07 a.m. and 04.1 degrees F. Patrick is here with me in front of the space heater. It's cold. It's supposed to get up to 22 today, hopefully.

Saw the last half of an interesting piece on PBS last night about a gal traveling around the world and interacting with different apes in the wild. A couple of mountain gorillas got into a contest to see who was the best, one came up behind her and turned his back and kicked her. The other came up and body slammed her- that's when you could see members of the film crew rushing him.

It was very interesting, they were not being aggressive, just sporting.

In one segment, they visited a band of chimps, who used flat rocks to place nuts on, and then pounded the nuts with rocks to crack them. The baby chimps imitated this activity in a play manner. I guess that is a step up from making sticks to catch termites and ants with, with they also showed up close and personal. The flat rocks were numbered so somebody was studying them...

I don't know why this film crew could get so close to these groups, who for the most part ignored them. Maybe they were on preserves and the animals were used to human contact.

The point was these chimps were in a state of learning to use/make tools--I don't know how much human contact may be influencing them, tho.

I don't know who the gal was--a junior Jane Goodall except sexy. She never spoke to the camera, but narrated with a slight British Empire Accent.

I will have to google "sexy aussie chimp lady with country singer overbite" and see what I can turn up.

Poor Lorilei Golmore. First Luke dumps her, then Christopher. Must be some personality flaw that makes her impossible to live with that we can't see. Covers Hog? Writes bad checks? Or just witty repartee overload?
