Well, there’s something no one woke up expecting to see: an elephant running loose on the streets of Butte, Montana.
The circus elephant was getting a bath when a nearby car backfired, startling the elephant and provoking her to flee. Her handler ran after her, and it took him 20 minutes to catch up, calm her down, and walk her back to the circus. During those 20 minutes they covered a lot of ground. Happily, there was no harm done.
A few years ago, driving past the South Plainfield Mall, I passed an elephant getting a washdown with a long-handled brush. I had to go back and look again, just to make sure I saw what I thought I saw.
Best news I’ve seen in days. 🙂
I saw this on the morning news. Something new for a change.
