Two important members of Our extended family recently passed
Puan, the oldest known Sumatran Orangutan 62
She had 11 Children and 43 further descendants to date
A very important lady in trying to rescue Her species
-------
Then we lost Koko, the signing Gorilla, who used over a 1000 phrases,
in a modified version of American Sign Language
Who showed How like Us our nearest relatives really are
She understood about and grieved for Her kitten when it died
Her meeting with Robin Williams is legendary, meant to be a short introduction, for Robin, who was a great supporter of the Animal Preserve in Woodside California.
Koko had other ideas, She invited Him into Her own part of the building, where they were like a couple of kids, playing laughing and tickling.
What is not so well known is the Koko was very depressed at this Time (a condition well know to Williams) His madcap visit lifted her spirits and shortly after She took another Mate.

Lynyrd Skynyrd Guitarist Ed King Dies at 68
He joined the band in 1972, but had left, before horrendous 1977 plane crash,
that wiped out half the band and crew -
He later returned to the Band
He had suffered serious heart problems years ago,
but it is thought, the cause was Lung cancer
He co-wrote one of their most iconic songs
Sweet Home Alabama

John McCain US Senator, has passed away at 81
A War Hero, who suffered terrible abuse at the hands of His North Vietnamese captors
Later shamelessly derided by 5 times Draft Dodger, Pumkin Trump
He often worked across the floor with Democrats if a Policy was good
His greatest act in the House was when He, strode up last to Vite on Trumps attack on Obama care
Stood for a minute for effect then voted by theatrically giving it, The Thumbs down sign
He also refused to shake the SF/IRAs Gerry Adams hand
and called Him a Terrorist - Something most of our Politcians didn't Do

Wow

In the words of the orange Pumkin - ^^^^ FAKE NEWS ^^^^

Let's face it,McCain was a war criminal bombing civilian facilities when he was captured-and a warmonger for the rest of his life, supporting every disastrous war America was ever involved in.
