“Rise and Rise Again” – Connecticut Valley Brewing Company: Sherwood Double New England Style India Pale Ale

10,000 Birds

MARCH 27, 2020

I can’t imagine they were expecting anyone to research the line as much as I now regret doing!

Bubbles the Chimp Resurfaces

Critter News

JULY 2, 2009

I had forgotten all about Michael Jackson and his chimp Bubbles whom he rescued from a research facility. Chimpanzees, like Travis the chimp who mauled the woman in Connecticut, are not meant to be family pets. Apparently, Bubbles is now 26 years old and living at an animal sanctuary.

(This concept has been totally transformed into the ‘birding app’, which allows birders to view and hear specific birds from their smart phones or other digital appliances wherever they may be. But, that technology is for another article.)
