   thanks y’all…

   [http://www.flickr.com/photos/scleroplex] – Yeah, I dropped out of a tree a wee bit north of here, but still in Africa. =)

   Or maybe the common ancestor wore a scarf…

   yep, "the danger of the baobabs" quote is the first one that came to my mind too…

   Of evolution and dinosaurs
   Where life began and mankind first stood
   Of living fossils and elephants
   Where lions roar and springbok herds leap "

    ah, yes, it’s all the same. The scarf referred to the little prince quote that followed

    Makes me want to watch the Madagascar movie again. Oh, I wish I could go to Africa and see where it all began. It must be so beautiful! I wonder if you can smell the earth wherever you go? That would be wonderful. The picture of the elephant makes me want to cry a little. She looks so confident in her home. I’ve only seen them in zoos.
