It’s embarkation day. We leave Asia this morning and return to the old U.S. of A. this morning actually, as we get back the day lost to the International Date Line.

Best monkey story of the vacation actually happened at the Singapore Zoo, where some native species roam pretty freely in the treetops. A particularly festive orang utan (as they spell here where they live, well, probably not the orangs themselves, don’t know how well they spell), he swung his way to directly above the footpath and commenced to pooping on people’s heads.

Good monkey.
