  3. Baños, Ecuador, once had a small zoo where the animals could freely roam. Here is a Tapir taking some of my food.

    Tapirs appear harmless, but sometimes---as in Oklahoma City in 1998---they can tear your arm off.

    3. Oklahoma City is my dream city: Trucks, guns, red necks, churches, beef, inexpensive, über conservative---and did I mention guns? I have no vehicle but, at 68, I go everywhere on ferociously expensive bicycles. OKC is easy to get around on a bicycle.

  4. Its amazing how someone wants to know, "How does it taste?". Reminds me of Louisiana Coon Asses Enjoying road kill to the fullest extent.
