Three story ideas - driving a car down rock creek (Simcha, somewhere around 1968)

Rick getting his finger slammed in the door of the same car, at the zoo. Jan was there with Deb and Dean.

Robin losing his wallet (fell out through the rust holes in the floor)

The Catoctin Mountain Zoological park just up the road from the DC zoo, in Thurmont, just outside Frederick, MD is currently featuring its new cubs, a trio of albino Sumatrans born just 2 months ago.

THANK YOU so very much for the great info and the link!  I downloaded the video and it approaches the point of being nearly 'too cute for words' :-)

Just checked again and I saw mama pacing along with one of the cubs! Way cool! Mama sort of looked anxious, like she wanted to zot someone.

I'm delighted that you got an opportunity to see them 'live'.  Perhaps Mama Tigress smelled a Socialist nearby and wanted to teach the Mini Viking Kitties The Art of the Zot?  :-)
