I am glad your fears went unrealized and you are bowling again. This documentary sounds very interesting and reminds me of my dear friend who, when he was a teen, he lived in South Africa for 3 yrs. He went on some safari and an elephant charged them, he said the jeep barely made it out in time. He kept looking back and seeing this huge animal get closer and closerBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-20931672020692606212015-10-08T16:23:19.878-04:002015-10-08T16:23:19.878-04:00Nor me Ivy.
