There were two quests I spent the last few months of 2012 working on.
One.
There were 17 red pandas born in North America in 2012, I knew where 15 of them were. So last week wandering around I saw something unusual in Wichita, Kansas. Three red pandas curled up in an adorable ball. How strange, red pandas hate each other and what zoo has more than two in a single exhibit? Then there was a fourth sleeping all alone and one in the pile popped her head up and I thought "she looks young." And worst of all I did that thing that no one does, I read the sign at the exhibit and there was this little post in the corner. Recent Births 7/3/2012. The last two!
Hooray! There they are keeping a close eye on dad. Because even though they are the best animal ever, dad is still a dick.
Quest Two.
It was more of a fall thing. I had a overpowering desire to see a red panda blended into the fall leaves. Too early or too late was all I could ever do. Harder than I thought as most zoos do not have live trees in their exhibits. But here we are in late January, all hope lost, the quest forgotten.
Who would have thought? And that is why we wander.
Other than that I went to see they sisters that stared my mad obsession.
Spark currently lives in Cleveland, Ohio and I have visited her before.
Last I heard, Ember was in Garden City, Kansas. No idea where that is? There is a reason, middle of no where South West Kansas. Traveled all the way out there to find her off exhibit until a new exhibit is finished. I hate how zoos never post anywhere what parts of the zoo is being redone. I can only recall one zoo that on their Web site had a list of animals that were off exhibit. Jerks. While my beloved Ember was not around, they had a second red panda exhibit where I met former flame Firecracker.
He is the oldest red panda, ever. He is 21 right now and from what I saw is more spry than others just hitting their teens. Still sad I traveled for 8 hours over 1031 miles to see Ember, but meh. Another day I suppose.
As with last time, go to This is England. Becuase she is the best.

I liked driving the Yaris, but the Corolla was definitely way better. I always thought of Corollas as just kind of generic and boring, but this one is super nice. Super happy, yep, a lot less stress now! 
I still like how Mazdas look, but driving them fucking sucked.

I must agree, there is nothing cuter than red pandas. How can anything be this adorable is beyond me. 
Have you ever hugged one?
I never ever looked for any kind of product that maintains plastic, but now that you've mentioned it, I'll keep an eye out.
