Kori at the zoo...
A kori bustard that is...
We finally checked out the zoo in Des Moines, which is pretty nice. They have a great exhibit of African animals, including this bird, a native of Tanzania called: the kori bustard! Another highlight of the zoo, the free-range wallabies...

Time to announce the new foods at the upcoming state fair:

To be fair, I was a little disappointed, I thought that there was going to be some sort of
monster shrimp corndog brownie (On a stick). These are apparently all separate, distinct
delicacies.
This does sound pretty sweet:
Soft Salted Chocolate-Dipped Almond Pretzel On-a-Stick: It’s a soft pretzel dipped in chocolate almond bark and sprinkled with slivered almonds and a dash of salt,

Pittsburgh pride maybe?
For a while I kept seeing a car with a Steeler's plate frame parked in our apartment parking lot so I knew there must be a Pittsburgher among us ;)
But I never saw the person/driver associated with this car, so I could never comment on it. And in
a recent situation in which I did comment about someone's Steeler's apparel (actually a little kid), it turned out rather awkwardly that they actually had no Pittsburgh connection at all. But I digress...
Earlier I saw a woman in the lot wearing BOTH a Steeler's shirt and a Pirate's cap, and so yes, I knew they must of course be from Pittsburgh. So I did say something and the person seemed a little startled, even after I mentioned that I used to live there. Oh well, who knows what's up with people. It turns out she is the mother of one of my neighbors. But I don't really know any of the neighbors too well.
