Meercat Manor


Ever feel as if life is a series of unconnected incidents that don't amount to much? Ever look at the great towers of the city and feel less than inspired. Instead of feeling awed, you just start to wonder how long the plumbing will last?

Yes we are going to die. Our bones will become brittle and our teeth will fall out. Our sexual organs won't function anymore but at some point we won't care. We'll be old, and then we'll die.

When I get overwhelmed by those thoughts, I usually go to the zoo. Animals can cheer you up. And what can do a better job than a few Meercats. Really, who cares if our city will rust and our freeways return to dirt? They don't. And neither do I.

Oh my. Yeah, life is nothing but death and sadness. There's really no reason to live at all. Thank goodness for dolphins and penguins and stuff.
