Pittsburgh Zoo

  We had a lot of fun visiting everyone in Pittsburgh and Ohio (thanks guys!) but as usual I forgot to take pictures. However we did spend a day at the zoo where I took a lot of pictures so that’s what I’m posting. This zoo was started in 1898 and has been continuously changing through the years. When we were kids most of the animals were in small concrete floored cages – smelly and sad. Now with large ,more natural enclosures, the animals actual look content. The aquarium is double it’s original size and is filled with all sorts of cool animals. So if it’s been awhile since you visited the zoo this is a good time to go – no crowds and the animals are easy to spot.

   I think everyone was surprised at the huge turnout for this rally. The Metro broke ridership records. Streets had to be closed down because people walking to the rally over flowed the sidewalks into the streets.

   The message of the rally was that most of us are in the middle. The politicians , news media and bloggers yelling on both ends of the spectrum don’t really represent us. The middle has no voice. Obviously people are upset about this , judging by the turnout.

   I try to keep this blog non-political so if you want to see pictures of the rally click here-  http://picasaweb.google.com/tonyandkaren1/RallyToRestoreSanity?authkey=Gv1sRgCKHj-IW-19xH#
