happy birthday

.
To Cheeta. Every now and then, someone poses the question of which classic movie stars are still alive (most often in the context of Warner Brothers cartoons -- which stars who appeared in those cartoons are still alive?), and we always forget Cheeta, now 74 years old.



(Picture of last year's birthday chimp comes from Glyph Jockey, and links back to Cheeta's web page. Well, of course Cheeta has a web page.)

From our old stomping grounds in Hampton Roads, Virginia, the Norfolk Botanical Garden Eagle Cam shows the doings in the eagle nest. Fuzzy, wiggly eagle babies!

Thanks to splodefromcute for bringing this to my attention.
