Social Science Things that please me - Part 3

Pete Buttigieg

I don't think he'll become president but just having a gay man in contention tickles me pink.

Deep-State tool backed by the Obamas Israeli lobby....Don't give a shit if he's gay or not, they're using him to rob Bernie & Democracy blind, once again.

It's groundhog day - circa 2016 - over at the DNC head-quarters....What's going down currently in Iowa is an unmitigated rort & a disgrace.

The boy has zero chance against Trump which is what this is all about.

Ian Chappell was, maybe still is I dunno, the youngest player to captain a Claxton Shield winning side when he led SA to victory in 1964.

Did he tell you about it personally?

Over and over and over and over...

Kewpie Roasted Sesame dressing. I reckon I could just drink a bottle of it.

Getting my work trip cancelled for next week, love the Corona virus at the moment!

I miss work trips*

[The Dice Man]

Just back from South Africa where my wife and I spent 4 days inside Kruger, with one of those days being on a Safari tour, and the other 3 doing self drive tours, getting in the gates at 5.30am.

We spotted everything we wanted but the Leopard still remained elusive (including a couple of days last year where all we saw was a quick tail jumping out of a tree).

On our final day with about half an hour before we were to leave the park, we are driving down a quiet, bendy dirt road and I spotted it. I stopped the car and said, "I got it"... slowly reversed the car up and 5 metres from the road up a tree was our first leopard sighting, at the last hour, after 6 days looking up in trees. I can't really express how great it felt, except it was similar Richmond finally winning the cup in 2017, it was that kinda feeling. **** I love that place.

And 15 minutes later we found this cute couple....




We left very satisfied.

Nice work. I spent 5 days on safari in Tanzania, luckily did see one leopard in that time - they're difficult to spot. Plenty of people miss out.

i'm sorry you found it so disappointing...

great shot though, SA is high on my list to go to for the wildlife alone

 

[Catfish Alley]

Turns out kids getting older means you get busier. A relatively new job and dog have kept me busy too. I haven’t been in here for a while and just enjoyed a little time reading through some threads.

A couple of other things. My youngest turns 5 on the weekend. Looking forward to the little guy being excited and having a bunch of people over.

The sun is still up when I get home from work now. Loving the days getting longer.

Also, Stones announcing a Vancouver date. Might have to treat myself.

 

[Beerfish]

Welcome back.

You dreamed for your ticket out...

 

[quotemokc]

Kookaburra in my back yard caught a mouse

 

[Off The Couch]

I wish the kookaburras around us would stop laughing for 5 minutes and catch the rats that are using our fence as a super highway

 

[Procrastinator35]

Might be time to invest in A cat....I'm not A fan of Cats, but if they can catch & kill rats, then they almost justify their existence.....almost.

I would rather a rat
Plus the dog would make it a meal oF it (the cat)

Reminds me of a book I loved reading my kids - the House that Jack Built

Did you see any animals kill other animals?

Hmmmmmm…..Sounding like a tall tale indeed....Nice piccy's though.

Did you see any animals kill other animals?

I was glad I never saw a kill. I loved being on safari and I know it's a naturally occuring thing, I just didn't need to see it.

Would be the best part to see a lion or cheetah take down its prey

cheetah especially given the sheer speed.

id like to see a hyena or bunch of wild dogs being taken down by a pack of lions

Lions are beautiful enough on their own. We were down the arse end of Hwange one time and we found a pride just sunning themselves with a couple of cubs running around playing silly buggers, we sat for a good forty five minutes just watching and taking photos.
