Re: African Wild Dogs, Chobe National Park, Botswana
To me, those animal seem otherworldly. They are not so much similar to domestic dogs as of a world of their own. They appear to be very tough. Here's to hoping that they continue to rock our world.

Like wolves and coyotes, they need to be tough to survive. But when you watch them, they really seem much like domesticated dogs.

Re: Gumbo's Pic of the Day, Nov 2, 2013: BootHill Graveyard, Tombstone, Arizona
Ah great memories Dr. F! We had the pleasure of strolling round Boot Hill and then shaking hands with both Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp themselves! (Well, they were the real one's weren't they?). The tomb stones, or grave markers, in Boot Hill make great reading. Quite a number referring to folks being "legally hanged" (did that make any difference to the end result?). I particularly liked the tomb 'stone' (board) saying: "Here lies George Johnson, hanged by mistake 1882. He was right, we was...

I never did shake hands with Doc Holiday or Wyatt Earp, Mac, and since Doc Holiday probably died of "consumption" (tuberculosis), hope you were wearing a mask and washed your hands after you did. Good point about Bisbee -- a great small historic town with a grand old hotel, the Copper Queen . The scale of the open pit mine is hard to fathom, but worth a look. If you're staying in Tucson, both Tombstone and Bisbee can be combined into a day trip from there.

Hum, I thought that poor old Doc Holiday didn't look too good when I was there.... Oh well

Re: St Barts Celebrates Earth Day All Year
Really loved St. Bart's. Took a catamaran cruise from Sint Maarten to St. Bart's. Champagne, Bloody Mary's and hors d'oeuvres to and from Gustavia. Walked by Le Select Café which is home to Jimmy Buffet's "Cheeseburger in Paradise." Split a tour cab with another couple and visited the beautiful Shell Beach and a few other attractions.
