Election Day




This is it.  The big day.  Election Day in the US.  If you listen to the news, one poll says one candidate is in the lead.  Another poll puts the other in the lead.  Like an old-fashioned record player, it's all in how you spin the data.  And with all the varied human predictions, it appears there have been animals predicting who will win as well.  

At an Ecological Park in China (I guess that's a fancy name for a zoo?) a monkey, who is supposed to be some kind of prophet, was shown pictures of Trump and Clinton, with bananas next to each picture.  The monkey reportedly chose the bananas next to Trump and went so far as to kiss Trump's picture.  I will say no more... 

At Nova Southeastern University in Florida, two mako sharks were tagged as part of research in the oceanography department.  They have been followed since September - one was tagged as Trump and one as Clinton.  The objective was to see which shark would travel the farthest, and that shark would be deemed the winner - and would predict who would win the election.  Trump did it again.  And again, the analogy between Trump and a shark - well, I'll say no more on that one either!

In Cleveland, dogs had the chance to vote:

They predicted Trump.  I'm thinking that hair would be pretty appealing.  No wonder he won.

And in one of my favorite races - we had pigs.  Wearing Trump and Clinton wigs.  I kid you not:

Trump wins again.  My goodness, it's hard not to comment further on this one too.

In other predictions, made by parrots and kittens, Hillary won.   Sorry, there is no analogy between Hillary and a kitten.  But a parrot....hmmmmm........

Anyway.  Today is the day.  And tomorrow a new day dawns.   May it be hopeful...
