Hello JClarke!

I can't see anything....

But sometimes donation-based zoos dont have enough money to be able to care for their animals properly. :(

Sweet picture! I love elephants too...there is a great Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee that my mom follows religiously. They rescue elephants from all over the world. Our Tina from the Game Farm moved there to live her final years with freedom and she died a couple years later. :( Check this...

I am thinking I need to get out of my pj's!

Leave a note on front of the apartment building door for the smokers not to smoke near any window?

You know the Chinese Proverb- "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

Audiograms are still being used. It is just how you communicate the results to the families.
