For those of us living in downtown Los Angeles, a circus has come to town, literally. Ringling Brothers is set to perform at the Staples Center this week, and today is the day that they have their annual Elephant Walk through the streets of Los Angeles. Yep a whole heard of African Elephants strolled through the streets of downtown this morning with the world’s media standing just a few away and no one has bothered to even mention it. I am not sure if the swarms of people at the Staples Center even looked up to notice. Even PETA has been quiet and they live for that kind of crap. (PETA you know I love ya, but you lost me a little on the whole President killing a fly stance.)
How crazy do things have to be if you can miss a whole heard of elephants? I know that I can sometimes be a jaded urban dweller, but there is something magically about waiting at a busy city intersection to cross the street and seeing those wholly mammoths saunter by.
Now if I could just figure out why I have the song Thriller stuck in my head?

And if the elephants are really mad they will hold a grudge because they never forget!!
