Just came to post that. What a shame.

May this be the last of 2016.

It has been a terrible year, hasn't it?

I learned yesterday that one of my favorite big wild cats - the cheetah - has suffered a major population crash. This beautiful cat is on the road to extinction.

Then I hear this news today. Do you think the next film will have a tribute to Carrie Fisher?

RIP. You will always be an icon to me.

I thought she was doing better since Friday's heart attack, guess I was wrong.
