And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Baby Malayan Tapir Pup - Now I Want One. I'd name it "Spots."
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.
After about a year people would wonder why the name 'Spots'. They disappear by adulthood. Learned that from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJm6nDnR2SE
I'd name it Taylir.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what those taste like...
ReplyDeleteI have never eaten one, but the Indigenous of Central and South America do so when they can get them.
DeleteI would have gone with "Stripes", but hey.
ReplyDeleteBaños, 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.

Mike how is the big city doing. I grew up there.

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