    Not even smart to have the windows down, unfortunately even the tour operator with this woman had his window down….would think he knew better.
    I like this comment on the attack:
    I saw a “big cat” trainer a few years ago talking about what to watch… the eyes… As I recall… with a lion when you see that look you’ve got three seconds… with a tiger when you see that look you’ve got two seconds… with a leopard when you see that look you are dead!

    In other words if you don’t know how to “read the eyes” make sure that you have something very solid between you and a big cat.

    Came across that story too Deb. I’ve told this one here before, heard it from colleague at my former “that place” who went on photo safari. Guy left his tour for walk and came across two lion cubs playing in path. Clearly felt that they reminded him of his house tabby. He joined them. Mom lion was watching her kits from bushes. End of story for guy. Sadly stupid. Was lesson to stay in jeep, keep windows shut, we’re not at home anymore.
    Pouring out here and chilly. Fall look again. Getting ready for self-taught spin class. Plan is to get early start so that I can get home and make inroads in translation job as friend/Hazel and I were having fun cleaning and chatting yesterday and no work got touched. LOL.

    Good morning, KJ and Deb. I just saw that lion story on the Today show. Shame.

    Have a good spin class, KJ. Hope you’re able to get some work done today.

    KJ, just a shame that she lost her life for stupidity, both of their windows should have been left up.

    Morning ECB πŸ™‚

    Here in Tucson we have one of the largest aircraft boneyards in the USA, this is a good guide to some of the aircraft that are stored here…

    Morning all! …. sad story about the lion … that guy should have known better! ….

    well, this town is ‘Lightning Crazy’ ….. they had to cancel the Garth Brooks concert, because of the playoffs, but so far, all the Brooks fans interviewed are ok with it, cause they’ll either get rescheduled or refunded, and they LOVE the Lightning!!! (I thought there would be a lot of negative press, but who knew!?)

    rainy day here today, I like those, cause I hope to get a lot done! …. have a great day, all!!

    Good morning ECB, Deb, KJ! And all who enter in later! Deb, me too on the ice cweam! Goodness, that kitten’s cute!!
    Haven’t read the story on the lion and the lady–but what–are you born with no common sense? Yes it is terribly sad, but come on, who gets between ANY animal (including human) and their babies? Maybe it’s because I live on a farm, but try getting to a baby calf and it’s mom….not good. She may even like you normally but just try it and she will take you out. There is a way to do it and a way to NOT do it, just sayin’.
    Gotta get crackin’ here, later!

    Whoa, wait a minute: did any of you watch the video of the lion/park ranger? What was up with the written commentary (supposed to be what he was saying)!! Anyone notice that?!

    Rocky Road is my all time favorite icecwrem! If had things my way then I’d need a gazillion spin classes. πŸ˜‰
    So what’s more adorable than a kittah with icecwrem? Nothing!

    Has anyone made their own ice cream?

    I have no sympathy for the woman. She was told what to do/not do and disregarded those rules. The tour operator should be fired. Read their eyes? I hate it when “professionals” put this kind of information out. Alas KZ-I’m sure you’ve heard that common sense is not so common. I didn’t see the video KZ. I haven’t updated my Adobe Flash.

    OK, that’s my rant…for now.

    It’s going to be 88f/31c. I’ve been sleeping in now that mom’s here. She will feed my furballs so they give a few more minutes to sleep in. πŸ™‚ Uh, oh-a squirrel family has taking up residence in the Pine tree in the front yard and it’s driving my furballs crazy! Esp. when they saunter across the porch.

    Have a happy ~

    Buttons, is your avatar now Buttons and Miss Nutini? My curious mind wants to know!
    So much cuteness today that my airbag is getting a workout! That kitty riding on the “gangsta’s” shoulder – ahhhh!
    Glad that you arrived safely JK, rocky road and all, hope that you weren’t wearing your stiletto heels! πŸ˜‰ Delish Rocky Road treat – packed with nutrition as calcium and protein too! Now where’s my d**n spoon!
    AV’s chicken salad was splendid with faux chicken strips. I did overdo it on turmeric (sub for curry) and hot mustard (not the ground kind), but live and learn. Even bought another pkg of the strips to make faux chicken salad sammie on wrap.
    Plus just made some baked salmon cakes as I was looking for recipe for someone and realized that having less than 6 ingredients it is KJ-compatible.
    Brought something xtra to gym as on way (in pouring rain) found tobacco brown large wicker bin with leather-look lid. All it needed was a screw and my handy drill. Reception guys were kind enough to let me store the thing at reception desk during my workout and carried it up stairs for me. It got a thorough wash down as all street finds get and while it might have been used for laundry or to store linens, it’s too pretty and will be re-purposed as yarn bin, thus freeing up some underbed space (And I guess allowing Dorry his underbed security space.) So some of my 11 drawers will have to find new homes LOL.
    Have made no headway with work that I planned on starting, hopefully this pm will rectify this as it’s raining out and nice to be in and doing something productive.

    Afternoon all! *waves* ….. been drizzly all day (yay!) fishie pond is nice and full of fresh water! Funny thing is, it hasn’t stopped Sal from his regular visits …. he comes rain or shine πŸ™‚

    …. glad you all are enjoying the chicken salad, it’s so versatile, and such a refreshing meal on a hot summer day πŸ™‚ I just love the combo flavor of turmeric, curry and the read grapes make with the chicken …. my favorite way to serve it is scooped inside a halved avocado ….. just give me a spoon! YUMMM

    …. I feel so discombobulated today! …. I’m working on multiple files, and missing pieces to complete each one …. it can be very frustrating!! … best get back at it …. check you guys later!

    OH MY that pic JK!! Seriously have a chocolate/peanut/ice cream hankering now! May have to have Mr.KZ take me for ice cream fulfillment this evening!
    KJ, too bad you didn’t get the curry for the chicken salad, as for me it *makes* the salad. It isn’t a strong curry flavor, but very yummy and the sweetness of the grapes sets it off too. Congrats on yet another street find (how do you do it?) it sounds like a wonderful find too!
    PG, hope you are enjoying your mom’s visit, I too would like to sleep in, but it’s not in the cards for me with Avery coming so early. Found myself asleep after lunch with her in my arms napping too, LOL! And what is it about rodents that make cats go crazy watching them outside? My cats chitter and chirp like crazy when they can see a chipmunk or squirrel!

    Oh thank god I’m back in the cafe πŸ™‚ I was having withdrawal symptoms πŸ˜†

    Loving the pics πŸ™‚

    Have to agree with PG about not having much sympathy for that woman.. I feel sorry for the people that had to witness it and her family. But come on …!! the number one rule for EVERY safari in the world is keep doors and windows shut at all times! Not only did she risk her own life but everyone’s in the car and but the animals around her at risk of being shot in defence of the woman and believe me the lives of those lions are more important to me than a persons I’m sorry if that sounds harsh..

    Ok now my rant is over… I was having some serious technical difficulties but KM helped me out πŸ™‚ thanks KM..

    Yes KJ that’s Buttons and Nutini .. I love that picture it shows how inseparable they were… His anniversary is only 13 days away it’s getting hard πŸ™

    Been busy with work and friends wedding that’s only 18 days away now ! Will be delighted when it’s all done and dusted πŸ™‚ managed to go out hunting for an injured stray dog too this evening … Didn’t find it πŸ™ wish I had there were reports of it having a badly mangled leg … I still have all my catching equipment in the car incase I get a call on a sighting …

    I wana stay in cafe for ages now internet is workin a little but my eyes won’t stay open …

    So I’ll say good night for now and hope everyone’s having a great week!

    Hi everyone – oh yum, rocky road! Just saw a video on making ice cream, no fancy gadgets needed. Might try it, probably much cheaper.
    On any safari, always keep windows closed, sheesh! Also keep doors locked, animals have been known to fidget with door handles.
    Had a few things keeping me from TDK – glad to be back!
