I'm Bored! Let's Go Somewhere!
As Karin and I were watching TV last evening it occurred to me that even though we didn’t make our trip to Baja California this spring as had been our habit for the past few years, we had actually been traveling to a lot of other places in this great nation and around the world using our television machine instead of one of those parked 737s.
Where have we gone you ask? Well, one of our favorite places is to the zoo! Yes, I said the Zoo. But not just any zoo, specifically the
Bronx Zoo. Every week we see what goes on behind the scenes and how some of these amazing creations of our Lord’s are cared for everyday. They even had a show specifically about what has happened during this pandemic around the two tigers and several lions were treated after they were diagnosed with the covid-19 virus. For a while we have also gone to one of our favorite places, the
San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, until we ran out of episodes.
As we continue on our armchair adventure, eventually we end up in Columbus, Ohio, at the famous
Columbus Zoo. Then heading southeast we arrive in the town where my Basic Training Buddy Taylor Davis lives…Tampa. National Geographic channel has a new series called
Secrets of the Zoo: Tampa. Go north into Georgia and we will see you at the
Aquarium in Atlanta (on Animal Planet).
As we continue to travel thousands of miles in our very own and very safe recliners, we have ended up in Cheshire, UK at the Chester Zoo. Their TV show
Secret Life of the Zoo is produced in England and shown on Animal Planet in the US. This zoo’s mission is to be a major force in conserving biodiversity worldwide. It’s a wonder place to stop on the zoo tour. Then from England we go to Australia and visit
Taronga Zoo Sydney (Australia’s largest zoo). It’s wonderful to see so many people really concerned about conserving wildlife!
Karin and I also like traveling to other places and historical times by sitting in front of our 48” screen. Some of our favorites are England where we find
Call the Midwife,
Silent Witness and the brand new Masterpiece series
World on Fire. When you find you have some extra time to just veg in front of the boob tube, check out some of these wonderful shows.
I’ll continue sharing our adventures with you next time in the Shut-In Gazette.
Someone on Facebook posted this great governmental explanation of the next steps in reopening this great country of ours.......
We have a 6 phase plan to reopen the state.
The plan will be a phased plan that we will plan to utilize in phases.
The phases will be planned and the planning will be phased.
We will move quickly and slowly to open but remain closed.
I have created a staff of staffers who will plan the phase and planning while phasing their phases.
And that is our reopening plan.
Thank you.
Our friend Roger (Superman) Kent sent me this wonderful link (below) that relates both to travel and flying. (My first long trip over the Pacific Ocean [crammed into a very long tube for 17 hours with 200+ other soldiers] certainly was not luxurious like these flying boats were!)
