You're absolutely welcome! Did you read that story on CNN about how Lewis the Koala gingerly walked on burning ground to climb a tree. And a passing woman took the shirt of her back to pluck the koala off the tree (she said she was glad she was wearing a nice bra
). She doused his burns with a water bottle and took him to a koala hospital? He was so adorable.
How did you adopt a koala? -- PM me if you like.
For at least a decade if not more I've had a picture of a smiling koala pop up when I log into pc -- chosen by the pc's software. I think that picture plus the experience of Lewis worked on me so that I now try to read as much as I can about the outlook for Australia's weather and koala survival. I'd like to go there, I've heard it's beautiful, but the weather has to settle down. I think about Hurricane Katrina which devastated New Orleans around 2005; mercifully they haven't had another such disaster. Maybe something like that will happen to Australia.
Recently while in Florida we visited the Palm Beach Zoo which has a couple of koalas. I understand San Diego's zoo has 20 of them? That would be something to see.
