Yes. Keep that wonder and delight. Garrison Keilor just made a birth announcement: A baby giraffe! A new giraffe is in the world. He had a birth weight of just over three hundred pounds. The news made me smile.

Sweet! I know that is small for a giraffe, but three-hundred pounds for a new born is so crazy!

@maezee Hearing such sweet news was nice. Nothing about shootings and bad weather. Just a new giraffe.

Very neat! His momma would have given birth to him standing up! I remember really happy when our Tucson elephant was born.

Presumably this was in a US zoo ?

Yes. Might have been the St. Paul zoo cause Garrison from Prairie Home Companion announced it being born.

I love hearing good news now a days. I don't even bother watching tv because of all the negativity.
