6 More Weeks of This?!

So even though last week the groundhog (or tiger!) predicted 6 more weeks of winter, you wouldn't know it if you stepped outside this weekend. The weather was just awesome. I got to make another trip to the zoo, we got to air out the house a little bit, and today it's been raining off & on though I don't care since the rain will do a great job of washing all the salt off the streets.

If this is what the next 6 weeks are supposed to be like, I say bring it on!

Bad Tiger!

Stupid tiger.....
Khuntami, a 400-pound Siberian tiger at the Henry Doorly Zoo, predicted this morning that the Midlands will have six more weeks of winter.

Khuntami predicted this morning that the Midlands will have six more weeks of winter.
Dr. Lee Simmons, the zoo's director, said that the forecast is appropriate since Khuntami is a winter tiger.

The tiger made his prediction based on appetite. Zoo workers had set out two containers of meat for him -- one green to represent spring and one white to represent winter.
