elephants swimming



I've been watching BBC's Planet Earth nature series, thanks netflix. The first episode shows elephants swimming, seen through an underwater camera in Africa. They swim totally submerged holding their trunks up out of the water to breath. It is breathtaking to watch these elephant families swim together.

I am watching this series to avoid looking at the news, the suicide bombing, the weeping women, the dead bodies. I can't stand it any more. Let me watch the animals chase and eat each other. In this series I don't know whether to root for the lion who has to feed her cubs or the baby zebras. Too many choices.

My sink works but the dirty dishes haven't moved.
