LOL. Thanx Doug. Ironically for all, I am reading Jane Goodall's memoir, Reason For Hope. It's a pretty wonderful book. (That has to do with my science interests, not with gorillas in high tech!) So to go OT onto chimps, there's a lovely anecdote where, after watching and following the chimps for many months, she is lying on the forest floor while her favorite one, David Graybeard, is playing in the trees overhead. She feels a mystical unity with everything. He comes down and lies a few paces from her, "uttelry relaxed, and gazed up toward the green ceiling above our heads." Then he starts off to the river, and she follows. "I looked into his large and lustrous eyes, set so wide apart; they seemed to express his enire perosnality, his serene self-assurance, his inherent dignity." She offers him a piece of fruit. "He dropped it, but gently held my hand. I needed no words to undrestand his message of reassurance. To this day I remember teh soft pressure of his fingers. That was the first time a westerner had befriended an ape. I thought that excerpt would be nice for us gorilla watchers this Saturday.
