Word Press (or probably their version of A.I. gave me a writing prompt that I thought was kind of funny:

If you had to be an animal for a week, what would you be?

Um…duh? Also, only for a week?

But I digress. Before I went off on my globe trotting adventures, I started a story about Pinky’s twins being shipped off to their grandparents for an undisclosed length of time. (Mei Xiang: EXCUUUSE ME? WHAT length of time did you say????) You can read the first installment HERE, because it’s been a little while…

We now return to our story…

We are finally having a little rain here, which is a good thing since it’s been so dry. Our thoughts go out to our friends and neighbors in the north, who are having yet another summer of fire and smoke. I hope you are able to evade the flames and stay safe.

It was very nice to be away and avoid the nooz as best I could, but alas. I am back and reality has come crashing down, although I am trying to avoid the anxiety spiral. Pandas help. So does the adorable little Linh Mai (sp?) heffalump at the National Zoo. She is almost as cute as a panda!

Till next time,

Be the Bear
Bob T aren’t they the cutest little pandas? Panda
