Pete's Pond

Pete's Pond

I never really liked zoos. I know. It's hard to believe that the Fun Guy himself doesn't like zoos. I like seeing all the people un their festive familial mode. But I get too compassionate with the animals, you know what I mean, too involved to appreciate how beautiful they are in captivity. So it's like there's a fun that I'm missing - that is somehow connected to seeing wild animals.

Courtesy of National Geographic's Wildcam Africa, I can actually watch wild animals, in the actual wild somewhere near Botswana, doing their wild things, like getting a drink from a pond. And I got to tell you, I exprience a playfulness of the most delicious kind, even though I'm only sitting there, in front of my computer, looking at a webcam. Similar if not precisely the same kind of playfulness previously classified as "relaxed playfulness," don't you know. Peacefully delighted.
