Phobic about plane travel, post September 11? Sure, many people are. It isn't even necessarily the not-so-likely terrorist threat, either - it can be a general, "Oh, yeah, these things can crash" sort of fear. So, you started taking trains, didn't you? Only, Amtrak went bust. You drove for a bit, but now one single gallon of gas costs four gazillion dollars. So, you said, "Okay, the bathrooms are hideous and the pace is loathsome, but at least the bus is affordable. And safe."
And then random bus passengers started chopping up and eating people.
So far this summer, the news has included numerous workplace shootings, international bombings, earthquakes, dead mommies, random attacks on teens, foreclosures, more than one beheading, floods, storms, kidnappings, and one freaky beach monster.
In other news, we're still at war.
At times like these, it makes sense to just stop, and sit, and think nice thoughts about the mighty llama. Won't you join me?

Yeah, truthfully there's been a lot of freaky s**t in the news. Global warming or something.
I'm coming to watch the llamas with you.
I don't know about llamas. Aren't they tempremental? How about guinea pigs or hamsters? Oh yeah, they eat their babies, don't they? Hmmmm, I think I'll just stay in bed.
Ah yes, the mighty llama - a mighty popular animal in our house these days, thanks to LLama Llama Red Pajama and The Emperor's New Groove. Life must be nicer when really all you want to know is "when can you watch the silly llama movie again?", and not "why is the world so weird and terrible?"
