The world is scheduled to end at 12:21 p.m. Pacific Time today but I’m in negotiations with the Mayans to get the end of the world postponed to 3012. They want me to meet at their place for these final negotiations and to bring a sacrificial Republican with me. They are not thrilled with these Republicans. If I’m back at 1:00 p.m., you’ll know that my negotiations were successful and that the sacrificial Republican was acceptable.
Meanwhile, enjoy some pictures of wildlife that make the San Diego Zoo their home.

I want to thank u for taking the time to negotiate on behalf of the world. Obviously u were successful. I’m just wondering did they wanted an elected republican or one of their flock?
LikeLike
They were willing to accept one of their flock as long as s/he was a devout Republican in word and deed.

Fine job you did saving the world! I’m sure you’d have had no trouble finding a suitable Republican for purpose….there are far too many of them knocking around! It was supposed to end at 11:11am here 🙂 Mind you…it would have saved me a lot of aggravation later if it had!
Lovely photos…apart from that big, hairy tarantula that is! On that basis this post should have come with a hazard warning! You could try offering a few of the more obnoxious Republicans to it I suppose… 😉 Thanks for the like on my blog btw 🙂 Much appreciated.
