You want high speed rail. I want to swipe my monthly card at Aquarium Station and take a 9 day subway ride to the Smithsonian Zoo. We are not the same.

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington is asking the public to help name its new baby elephant — the first born there in 25 years. The female calf, described as alert and bright-eyed, weighed 308 pounds at birth. Voting is open on the zoo’s website, with the final naming set for next week.
