What was supposed to be an extended last visit to the San Diego Zoo<\/a> for this year turned into a limited, shortened, crowd-dodging, iPodless and relatively unremarkable excursion. Although, I did pass some cool animals walking around on leashes (a leopard and a wolf) and it was a beautiful and sunny 7o degree day, and I was at the San Diego Zoo, something that billions o’ people can’t say but wish they could. There was a large contingent of college football fans, tourist holdovers from yesterday’s Holiday Bowl between the Texas Longhorns and the California Golden Bears. Lots of orange and blue shirts today. I spent my time visiting areas I normally don’t walk to and because of my adventurousness it was the first time I’d seen a Turkmenistan Caracal<\/a>. So I’ve got that going for me. Oh, and all my shots were on the wrong white balance setting.<\/p>\n
