Life, the Universe, and Everything!

Well, happy birthday to me, and I know a lady never reveals her age, but I am no lady: I've just become the answer to the Ultimate Question.


Observed it with my mom, on the Mile-High Swinging Bridge at Grandfather Mountain, near Blowing Rock, NC. We also went to the nature museum and saw the animal "habitats" (essentially, a zoo, but with local wildlife): three black bears (one actually cinnamon colored), a golden eagle, lots of deer, and a cougar*. Bonus animals not actually part of the exhibit, but hanging out there anyway, included a bevy of chipmunks and one hilarious raven who obviously found something fun to play in on one of the big rocks in the deer enclosure.




*no, it wasn't a mirror, smartass.
