Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

You... belong in the zoo... the San Francisco Zoo

Orphaned bears' new lair / Amenities include big pool, climbing structure, garden, windows for public perusal:
Kiona caught a carp. Kachina chased a peacock. On Thursday morning, the grizzly bear twins at the San Francisco Zoo were just getting to know their new habitat, but they were already making themselves at home.

In a quintessential rags-to-riches tale that's a cross between Charles Dickens and Donald Trump, the orphaned sisters who were hours away from a Montana execution in fall 2004 are moving into a $3.7 million enclave that opens on June 14 -- Flag Day. Not coincidentally, the grizzly can be found on the California flag.

'Our other bears are going to be very sad to see the grizzlies move into such nice digs,' said Manuel Mollinedo, the zoo's executive director.
I think we may need to plan a Zoo visit in the near future. We've been there a few times since moving to the Bay Area in 2000--the best visit was on a rainy November Sunday, and the Zoo was almost deserted but the animals were all out enjoying the shower.
