http://leecuesta.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-politics-of-pachyderms-part-1.html
La República del Norte. Saturday, June 14, 2014. The Politics of Pachyderms (Part 1). I first reported about the Oregon Zoo on this blog in January (‘Two “Lily”s at the Oregon Zoo’).

I found this to be a very nice feature.

I am currently employed by the largest home-improvement retailer in the world, which means I might spend eight hours a day walking continuously on solid concrete. The nail...
