Runaway Zebra: **This is part of an e-mail from my niece in Atlanta. I hadn't even heard about the poor zebra that was trying to run away from the circus.**John and I were on the interstate with the runaway zebra yesterday!!.... at 5:00 and we were headed to Bremen.....We got on the entrance ramp to the south bound connector and all of a sudden a zebra ran past the car...right next to me! I could have touched him. Bless his heart, he just does not want to be in the circus! Luckily, it was during rush hour and people were inching along so I felt like he wouldn't get hit. He was safely caught and treated for bloody hooves. He's now having some R&R time before he does another show. He was singing his heart out as he ran past my car...♪♫♪..Born free, as free as the wind blows ♪♫...as free as the grass grows...♪♫...I know he was thinking about the Kapiti Plain! *Aww..that poor zebra. I feel so sorry for him *
"Look there daddy, do you see? There's a horse in striped pajamas.
No, thats not what it is at all. That's an animal people call a zebra.
I see, but it still looks like a horse in striped pajamas to me."

Oh my, Becky. The runaway zebra was quite a story! Did that really happen? My oh my oh my. So glad little stripey didn't get mooshed. Thanks for the post. Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteOh, yes Susan, it is true! I hadn't heard anything about it until I received the e-mail from my niece. Since I live in the St.Louis area, I guess that wasn't on the news here....or else I missed it! Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment! I always enjoy your blog, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteI heard ALL about this guy driving home from work...didn't get caught up in that traffic though. Your niece must have thought she was dreaming! :-)
Poor Zebra! I live in northeast Atlanta so we heard all about the little fella -- the radio DJs had a field day. It was a relief to learn that he was safely caught. I bet he was big man on campus with all the other zebras. LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, that was quite a story! I wish I could've been in her car with her! ....And can't you just tell by her words that she's a GRITS?? I loved when she said, "Bless his heart"!! That is an expression I never hear up here in Yankee country!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! Oh, I can just imagine what all the DJ's were saying! They can only wish they were such celebrities! You are right, too....he must've been quite the BMOC!! :)
