It's been an optimistic morning over here at Scribblista's editorial offices.
First, after what's started to feel like the eternal sunshine of the cloudless winter over here in the desert Southwest, we finally got an overcast morning. Yay! We plan to celebrate later by making some soup and possibly doing a little rain dance to benefit our parched plants.
And then we came across this inspiring news item about a hamster and a rat snake who have become roommates and best friends at a Tokyo zoo. The two met cute last October when zookeepers tried to feed the hamster (who they'd named "meal") to the snake. It's just further proof that we really should learn to trust one another more ... at least until someone gets hungry.
Interesting that little Gohan (rice or meal) does look a bit like a tasty rice ball, but clearly to cute to eat.
