For a few days now, it has been a story of mild interest in the area that five zebras have escaped from a compound where they had been kept. They have reportedly splintered to evade capture, with one trio running off and the remaining duo taking a different escape plan.

It’s the kind of nonsensical story that is basically welcomed, what with the world in complete disarray from the border, to the White House, to Afghanistan, and even our banks, as the economy continues to meltdown, to say nothing of our own President Softserve calling to override the Constitution on the regular. Hell, a small herd of black-and-whites on the lam is a far more tolerable piece of news worth following.

As the days of freedom unspooled, there is now the arrival of a new aspect to this story, and if anyone comes up with a cogent explanation, I am receptive to interpretation. While some are curious how this escape transpired we have a federal politician arriving to clear her name.

My grandfather ran a government experiment station. He had a couple of zebras he taught to pull him in a sulky. I have a photo of them doing it.

Welp, at least they are not ‘bananas’ or ‘poppies’.
