Speaking of going around and around in circles, wolves will do that in their enclosures if it designed with a long enough trotting path for them. Btw. it is somewhat surprising how tall, lean and lanky wolves can be !

Tigers in certain zoo cages know how to have some fun, for instance if you get too close to the outside of their cage to admire them they will suddenly spray you while looking over their shoulder at you with a seemingly a big grin their face ! (Hoogle zoo, SLC Utah) Btw, I'd say that many tigers would end up being slaughtered and go extinct if some were not protected and well cared for in certain zoos that provide that. Ideally they would live wild but wild places/habitat for them to do so are and have been rapidly declining.

umm...there are many schools in Hinduism and they often contradict or disagree with each other on key or major points but going by Hinduism's general teaching they are supposed to respect one another. The "eternal" or "immortal" sayings or definitions about "soul" come up constantly in doctrine, yet there is the question of how did unique souls come to be? One could ask that if souls are also emanations from Supreme Being then how could they remain as unique and eternal existences that survive beyond the very long cosmic cycles? If one accepts that all emanations (and returns) take place in grand cosmic cycles, that have a beginning, middle and end, and which then repeat endlessly as cycles or lifetimes of Lord Brahma the creator along with the other aspects of Supreme Being, namely Lords Vishnu and Shiva, then souls can only be eternal or immortal in a manner of speaking or in comparison to short human lifetimes or very long lifetimes as soul-bodies. So if one follows that import then souls also return to the "ocean" of Supreme Being, thus comes the day when they are no longer unique or particular souls, not unlike how surface waves finally merge back into the ocean.

Btw, some men are not just strange but very stupid to think such a thing. ...so we now have grizzlies in the mix. If one is ever in the town of West Yellowstone, Wyoming they have a grizzly bear enclosure where one can see the bears up closer than as normally viewable in many zoos. The massive and incredible build of muscles in their shoulders and front legs is hard to believe until you see it ! Me and and an old buddy got charged by a brown colored bear in a brushy wilderness area near a creek many years ago. It was scary as hell but he broke off his charge, I guess we were lucky since apparently he was not very hungry that morning but could have had us for a snack. Understandably We didn't hang around to verify if it was a grizz or big black bear in the brown or as also called the cinnamon variation. There is a saying that your hiking buddy in bear country should be a slower runner than you, that way you might have a chance to survive per the regretful sacrifice of your buddy. Btw. running form a bear is supposedly the last thing you want to do (easier said than done) since they would then see you as prey and can easily outrun a human!

there was a time that such a thought might have crossed my mind when 4-5 ferociously crazily yapping Pekingese dogs tried to get at me through a screen door with their owner standing right there...

sounds deep, but the Self in all beings never sleeps...

Humanistic sensibilities' and conscience do not apply to those hell bent on evil, granted evilly inclined beings or those that have aligned themselves to such also have a spark or atom of Sprit buried deep inside themselves and if they didn't would instantly turn to dust or less than dust, but only Sages, realized masters, Dharma guardians, divinely realized gods and deva's can see that spark and somehow and actually mitigate or stop the furtherance of evil, for regular Joes or Janes with noting more than conceptional armor who think they are equal to the task in using knowledge, will and experience to directly deal with such forces are dangerously naive regarding what could happen to themselves and others. Btw, we can run and hide from so called "current events' which are also human and spiritual events but only until such also catches up to us, so it is for mice and men.

it is near futility too bring up a point of humane conscience with those who have very little or none...such has been going on for ages all over the world...and is front and center in so much of our world today. Once reasonable people have had the wool and worse pulled over their eyes and are sometimes assisting those doing the pulling; whether in religions or in other aspects of our lives. The first step to reveal that is to openly recognize it, for silence on such matters emboldens evil.

I've had scares or close calls of being bitten by a great Dane, German Shepard and pit Bull but one of these little guys is the only dog that ever came at me and bit my leg without hesitation which was a surprise. Btw, I didn't know for a long time that they were or still are used to go into badger holes to force them out; so considering that they can be one very fearless go getter to take on such a formidable creature as a badger. Another short story: one of the funniest things I ever saw was my moms Chihuahua charge a great Dane until it realized its huge mistake and turned tale and ran back to her.

ok, and lets add some Fords, Dodges, oatmeal cookies and pizza to the list... oops and some good beer.

great video Nungali, thanks. I bought my wife an old 1925 upright piano that i partially restored. She has gotten over 35 years use out of it and chooses it over the modern electric keyboard she also has.

never thought this hot dog post would have legs...

lol...except for sodium nitrate and such

the wind blows...but don't be like a leaf in it.

how about those nuts that stuff an incredible number of hot dogs into themselves in a timed competition, sounds like an easy way to choke and die! (I'd rather stuff apple pie and ice cream but one could still choke and die in doing that or have a dangerous sugar overload) The T.T.C. says something about knowing when enough is enough. btw, someone did nice fiberglass work on the Wienermobile, and an example of ,"different strokes for different folks". lol
