ANIMAL PLANET from Ukrainian

Here is a list of animal life forms what I saw in my Nature Bikeride of Portland Trail Blazing:
Turtle: sitting on log in pond
Rabbit: hopping into tall grasses
Snake: being carried by a man walking the opposite direction as me
sheep: grazing when I went by one way, and on the way back GONE
horses: nothing to say
Cats: Trying to play it cool.

You may notice my recent trend in animal loving. Its part of a whole plan that I and the rest of our generation is doing to honor their childhoods. Just like everyone wore those ATARI tshirts to give props to their teenage years.. I am travelling farther back. Back to the time when I would like to set up many plastic animals in rows for showing to people. This is what I had in mind when I recently divided a bunch of animal flash cards into GOOD and EVIL animals. Sounds funny, but its serious. And it fueled a lot of discourse. For expample: TIGER: good or evil? some questions are tough. On the whole I would say a good toy for kids is one that leaves some interpretation left to the kid. Wooden building blocks: constructive. Rubber Freddy Krueger mask: stupid

ps I was also hanging out with ukranians, they have some cool way of expressing like
"Don't embarass, just eat" and
"You broke me what I was going to say"

if you want to make a child happy, give it some crayons, some tape, some paper and some of those brown rolls that come inside your toilet paper.
