Ich Bin Ein Upstate New Yorker

Oh my goodness there is nothing cuter than this.

Tai Shan loves snow! Tai Shan would fit right in up in Western New York. Tai Shan would not be a giant snowaphobe like so much of DC. Tai Shan would not schedule his whole freaking weekend around a forecast that calls for several inches, canceling plans left and right, and holing himself up in his zoo cave because he might get wet, or it might be cold, or it might get a little icey. Tai Shan would definitely not raid the Safeways and 7-11's to stock up on milk and eggs and bread and toilet paper, because Tai Shan eats bamboo anyway and he isn't scared to venture out into the white stuff to retrieve it.

Yet another reason to love Tai Shan. He, like the best of us, is a Western/Upstate New Yorker at heart.
