Cleveland Zoo on a sunny April day

Cleveland Zoo is step by step becoming more of an amusement park than an animal park. Ten swan paddle boats are being assembled, that in addition to the zip line, carousel, movie theatre, party hall, seasonal light shows...and the reduction of species.

Here, i'll tell you a tale of the repukican partei in Ohio. Two citizens' introduced ballot initiatives have been passed to end gerrymandering. For many years everything in the state capital has been controlled by the repukican partei, and therefore moneyed interests; the voting public be damned. Current Sec. of State, and Atty Gen, (Larose and Yost) do not want the Democratic Party to have a presidential and vice-presidential candidates on the ballot. These two are dishonest as hell, and will use any conceivable trick to get their way. A few recent repukican Speakers of the House have been arrested for financial corruption. The Repukes have super majorities in both houses of the legislature. There is no law, and especially no spirit of justice, they need to obey. So now, for the third time, these women and other people are trying to get this on the ballot.

Sloths were active.

Last fall the zoo planted 20,000 tulip bulbs about the park. They have pretty much all have hit peak, A couple of 80 degree days will ripen the bloom greatly.
