A bit of "Monkey Business" for your weekend enjoyment from the Dallas, Tx Zoo: Watch Zola gorilla demonstrate play behaviors as he splashes and dances during a swimming pool enrichment session off habitat, behind-the-scenes. Breakdancing Gorilla Enjoys Pool Behind-the-Scenes |

Coffee-seeking 81-year-old leads Denton (TX) police on low-speed chase The Denton police officer rapped on the elderly driver's Jeep, telling her to roll down the window and unlock the door. .... snip .... "Nancy, why didn't you stop?" one of them asked as she sat on the ground. "Why didn't you just open the door when I knocked on the window back there?" |

Teenage boys wear skirts to school to protest against 'no shorts' policy https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/jun/22/teenage-boys-wear-skirts-to-school-protest-no-shorts-uniform-policy Strange. When my nephew, who lives in England, was in school he had to wear shorts even at winter. ![]() |

We weren't allowed to wear long trousers until we entered the 3rd year of secondary school. |

We weren't allowed to wear long trousers until we entered the 3rd year of secondary school. Matthew's mother had to appeal to the school that he should wear long trousers during winter. She didn't want that he would suffer from knee problems later in life. |

Didn't cause any problems for us. The winters here for the past 40 years have been nothing like the winters that people from the 40's, 50's or 60's went through. |

I forgot. Soon pupils will wear Hawaiian shirts during winter. :) |

US Inventions There has been a British outcry on social media after a US chain claimed to have invented a new summer snack. Considering that Mrs Beeton included a recipe for sausage rolls in her book Book of Household Management in 1861, page 658 we on this side of the pond are 'not amused'. |

A spoon? It does, but, that is an old photo. It is now in a different spot on that traffic island. That photo was from when it was a guerilla art instillation. It is located at the fork of Pasadena and St. John just south of Bellefontaine. The group behind it now hosts an annual food drive. https://www.facebook.com/PutTheForkInHunger/ ![]() |

Hostage Johan Gustafsson, held by al-Qaeda in Mali since 2011, has been freed, the Swedish government says. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-40407620 It was during a motorcycle vacation through Africa that the Swede was kidnapped in the town of Timbuktu by the terrorist group al-Qaida's North African branch Aqim. Since then, he has been in jail with the group along with Stephen Malcolm McGowan from South Africa. I wonder why they choose going through Mali on their way to South Africa... Well I guess some like adventurous vacations... |
