   Looks like he was just showing them who was really in charge.

     He certainly doesn’t look particularly upset, does he?

   Having never been to Africa, it would be my preference to not have an outdoor table if a 12 foot pachyderm is apt to wander by, but that’s just me.

   FINALLY! The Republican Party takes on the DEMOCOMMIES ! and shows them who is BOSS!

   *For those of you who live in Rio Linda, the symbol of the GOP is the elephant.

   Heh! That elephant gave them fair warning that he didn’t want them there and they should move away. They didn’t listen so he just gave them a little reminder that he’s the boss. If he’d wanted to he could have flattened them – literally. Poor advice from the “rangers”.

     My sympathies, Rivoniaboy. Exile is a bastard.

     The bushveld in winter. Waking up just before dawn beside a smoking acacia wood fire, kicking the logs together, blowing on the embers to get the fire going, putting on the kettle for coffee….and listening to the animals and birds stirring. Magic!

       How do you know about Marula fruit and it’s intoxicating effect on elephants KG?
       Come spill the beans.

           Thanks Mawm, that explains my hunch.
