Another Weird Coincidence

On the same day that I took this picture at the Auckland Zoo:

This happens in South Africa

It was even stranger because, seeing the keepers in there with two (you can't see the other one, but it was close) cheetahs, I remarked how dangerous that would be.  Some random guy standing near me replied that his friend (used to) work with cheetahs and they only weight (approximately) 40kg, which would be easy for an adult to handle.  I was convinced at the time, though now maybe not so much... still the two of them look pretty calm in there.

A Quote

When I was quite small I would sometimes dream of a city - which was strange becuase it began before I even knew what a city was.  But this city, clustered on the curve of a big blue bay, would come into my mind.  I could see the streets, and the buildings that lined them, the waterfront, even boats in the harbour; yet, waking, I had never seen the sea, or a boat...

And the buildings were quite unlike any I knew.  The traffic in the streets was strange, carts running with no horses to pull them; and sometimes there were things in the sky, shiny fish-shaped things that certainly were not birds.

Most often I would see this wonderful place by daylight, but occasionally it was by night when the lights lay like strings of glow-worms along the shore, and a few of them seemed to be sparks drifting on the water, or in the air.

It was a beautiful, fascinating place[...]
