Farewell Alcor

This is just a tribute to the late Alcor.... who recently passed away. I had just visited the zoo about a week ago when not long after that it was announced that Alcor had broken his leg whilst playing with his brother. Whilst at first officials thought that Alcor would have to be put down, they were able to find a vet who would operate on him in Pittsburgh, PA. Whilst the operation was a dangerous procedure and the odds were not in Alcor's favour, the operation did seem successful. However, about 5 minutes after leaving Pittsburgh, Alcor suffered a heart attack in the van he was being transported in and tragically died. You will be sadly missed Alcor. Peace out brother.



(I'm not sure if this is Alcor or his brother Mizar, who I'm sure feels very guilty about the incident - don't worry we don't blame you Mizar). Photo taken by Kimberley Phillis (c) 2006 (great photo Kimbo!)

Kimbo you wont believe this with my great driving skills, but somehow the other day i had a lil accident in tims car - well a big one really, a 4Wd and big caravan kinda ran into the side of me n pushed me up the street and onto the gutter. Made quite a mess, blocked off the whole highway - i was towing too that made it even worse, there was police and ambulance and police rescue and fire to clean up the fuel and oil spills, tims car is written off and i have a cool scar on my head with just adds to my already masculane image! - goood thing it wasnt in my car eh! ohh wll im alive and tim doesnt have a car!

Tony, are you alright man. Salvador will be jealous of your new masculinity look. He might even go and crash his car to try and get one. Too late. Haha kidding salva.

Hey Sof, Yeah how good are the knights, how good is Mullen. I was watching the game on Sat morning over here (well actually just watching numbers on the live stats screen) I saw up till it was 4 all then kimbo made me drive her to Toronto. So wish I could have seen the game.
