(sigh) I guess I have to tell the story...

It was standing in its enclosure at the National Zoo in Washington, DC and I was standing there innocently gazing, when it peed-- and it projected it all the way to where I stood.  I was so astonished that when people around me laughed, it just went totally by me-- unlike the pee.  So I was not in the least embarrassed, as after all, I had had nothing to do with it.

It was a turkey that was on the dresser, and the other one was on the night-stand, but that's another story.

The honor is mine! 

By the way, was this tapir doing his bedwetting while standing 20 feet away, flat-footed on his dresser top?  Just curious.

Yeah, but how many of us have been peed on from 20 feet away by a South

American tapir?  Never mind, it's a long story and not as exciting as it sounds... 

I understand what you mean by Christian Free-thinker.  Religions teach a way of life, not just a religious practice.  (Sometimes the line between is a fuzzy thing, but now I'm thinking about it, some of the least free-thinking Christians are probably actually less truly Christian than some who don't even recognize themselves as Christian, but demonstrate a true understanding of the teachings of Jesus in their actual beliefs and practices.)

And thanks for checking out my blog--I'm honored to be among your 'reads!'

Stay with me awhile.  Actually, there are more "Freethinkers" among Christians than you might realize.  Have a happy, "Freethinking" day.

I explore the

dark twisted labyrinth of my mind all the time. Only got lost once.

Christian Freehinker, huh? That made me laugh. Have a good week.

Cheers
