I hate that sign. Every time we go past it, Lara whinges about boring tanks and why can’t we go to monkey world!

This reminds me of my time living in Texas where I found it amusing how people would pronounce the town of “La Mesa” as “La Meesa”.
That reminds me of a story my father told. He had to supervise the installation of some machinery at a mine and when he turned up (wearing his own hi-viz gear) was told by the manager that he couldn’t enter the site in his hi-viz.
When dad asked why, the response was ‘Because it is different to ours… You will stand out’ ![]()
Dad replied, OK then you sort out some gear for me, I will be back at the hotel. It took them two days, but he didn’t mind, he was on a day rate and the clock was ticking.

Update: The remains of six, missing for days, were found buried today in the yard of a Riverside homeowner. Among the grisly remains were pheasant, mallard, monkey, fox, octopus, and another, too mangled for a positive ID.
Still missing but feared gone are hippo, bear, and monkey #2.
A suspect has been identified but so far she refuses to talk.
