best part of my day
is probably the commute, at least until I learn how to cook Lyonnaise food, which seems to be an almost ideal combination of butter, cream, and mustard. My commute goes through Le Parc de la Tête d'Or which combines the usual attributes of a park (walkways, grassy fields), with slightly less usual ones (a lake with several islands in it, a botanical garden), with even more unusual ones (a fairly open-plan zoo). Today, I entered the park and biked by the heavily-antlered deer, who were in a lounge-off with a number of people relaxing on the benches, separated by a moat. I think the deer were winning -- I've never seen them move. I then continued past the flamingoes and pelicans, monkeys fighting in the trees, three giraffes who appeared to be taking a shit simultaneously (I was on my bike, so I'm not sure, but I couldn't think of another reason for those splayed legs), and a few elephants. I need to start coming back before dark so I can get a double dose. Maybe once I've gotten internet installed.
