The letter I must use is Z. You do not know it yet, but I plan to pick a letter as a topic for each day.

Z makes me think of Zoo. A zoo is a place where animals can live in a created environment and be cared for as if the were domesticated. Actually I love zoos. Many other people do too — that is why there are so many in the world.

You see I live in central Florida. So many folks live here in the winter that I view Florida as one big city. But I get to take my cart to the zoo (Golf Course) any time I want to. The course is like a zoo. The environment is created and the animals are cared for by the pond patrol, the nature center, and the wildlife committee. The environment is created by the developer, the golf course owner, the nature center, the condo committee, and the beautification committee.

See how beautiful my zoo is! I really love it. And my old bones did not have to shovel one scoop of snow! But soon I will have the opportunity to enjoy half a year of summer fun in the north country — just after the last snow and just before the first snow next fall (we hope).

Tomorrow I will use the letter Y and give you some more philosophy based on a word I think of that starts with Y. — and I will also do some research on zoos of the world and pass along any thing I find interesting.
