Traveling Toronto

With the weather already in the mid-80s, it's easy to start thinking of getting out of town. To paraphrase John B.L. Soule, "Go North, old woman, Go North." Since we've been talking with a friend in Ontario recently, Toronto came immediately to mind.

Arts and crafts, theater, festivals, and some beautiful Toronto hotels got my travel bug buzzing. The museum exhibits - from dinosaurs to King Tut - certainly inspire a visit. As does the chance to see "Jersey Boys" live.

I do think, however, that a trip to the 'Look Out' at CN Tower might be pushing my vertigo-suffering travel bug a bit too far.

Baby Black Panther Picture

In July 2007 - July 14, 2007 to be exact - I wrote a post which I called Some 'Interesting' News Stories. One of the stories was about a newborn panther at the Belgrade zoo, being mothered by a Rhodesian Ridgeback. The cub's mother, traumatized by NATO airstrikes, had tried to kill it.

A cute story, accompanied by a picture I found online. It didn't seem like much and, at the time, didn't garner much attention. Boy have things changed!

In the last couple of months, however, that photograph has become tremendously popular. It keeps showing up in the keyword results for my website. Oddly enough, for the 2 years and 5 months prior to that, no one seemed to notice it.

I wonder what triggered this renewed interest in a story that may or may not, after all this time, be true?
