I’ve been there before. They have a bunch of cheetahs lounging around like house cats. I was a little nervous wandering around, but I sure as hell wouldn’t bring little kids in.

Way to go, Archie.

Many nights of sleeping on the couch and burnt cold dinners for you.

“The other lady (Violet) went in to assist and the cheetahs probably thought it was a play time.

Yeah.

I sometimes "play" with my food too. Ha ha!

Thanks for the ping, George. Glad to be home for a couple of days. No big cats for me on this tour in the mountains. But I was serenaded by a western screech-owl for much of the night at 5800 feet in pinyon pine/juniper forest. Beats listening to noisy neighbors.
