Aloha :)   Excellent, is the travel agency sending you to Hawaii?   Get me a cheap ticket while you are at it, please.   :)

Ah, the climate connection, I shoulduv realized that Rose would be easier for you …. I was running the fairytale combo while I was waiting for RH to evolve. Cheshire was a pleasant surprise. I’ll try for Big Bad later, but I’m hoping for Passion first (haha, aren’t we all).

WoW, I can’t believe you’ve seen tigers in the wild! Was this on a (photo) safari type vacation, or what? I’ve backpacked and canoed a lot and have seen bears, bobcats, moose, and a few wolves, but of course no tigers over here (and seeing a tiger while backpacking would make me a little nervous … hmmm, actually, not true … would scare the hell out of me). We’ve got mountain lions a few places I’ve been, but I’ve never seen one, and they are much, much smaller. I like wildlife photography a lot as well, but mostly I do birds. Mammals are a lot harder to find.

I saw the new craftable dragon’s another Champion. It’s only a rare and not that special looking. I’m a little disappointed. I did get your roses, however. Ty.

I was educated in a small town, and we got mostly western history starting with Greece and Rome, with a brief sojourn into Chinese history. In high school Ghandi and the Indian struggle for independence was a unit in the advanced history course. We actually got very little on any sort of modern history, I suspect because it was too political. What you really notice in the US is that he major news stations cover very little news outside of the US, unless it there is a very direct US involvement. There is some change with the information explosion, and you can find BBC and Al Jazeera on cable TV if you look and are willing to pay extra to get it, but most Americans don’t pay much attention. I’m not sure if this may change for the current generation growing up with the internet. In general DC has a poorly run and highly corrupt city government (which is quite separate from the national government that resides in DC). Twenty years ago the mayor of DC was videotaped and busted for smoking crack cocaine, and was known for womanizing and frequenting the red light district. No problem, he was easily re-elected! There are frequent scandals involving kickbacks and bribes of one sort or another. In theory each new group that comes into power is going to fix it all, but then the pattern starts anew.

Speaking of corruption, what the hell is going on with Goodwitch? A second dragon I don’t have? And this one a supar rare? I guess it’s OK… and I told them about adding new habitats so quickly. I knew you’d catch on! (sulks).

Gottta get to bed, Congrats on Goodwitch! G’night xoxoxo
