It was a typically warm summers day as the tipper trucks rested together under the shade of gum trees while their drivers had lunch. The trucks enjoyed a break from carrying the heavy loads of gravel and took the chance to cool down and have a chat. Hodgy an old V8 square cabin style tipper truck was particularly grumpy today as he had been at the rear of the four trucks and his sky blue paint was covered in dust. He chuffed to the other trucks with a small cough. I am sick of being at the back. I heard we are doing the steep part of the road next. My driver Glen is the most experienced so he may even get to lead!
My own impression of the story is that it is a soap opera of peoples lives, set in a zoo, in a book. The story details the interactions of many diverse characters within the central theme, situated inside the walls of a passive city zoo, located in the warm areas of Coastal California. It entails the story of a young woman, heiress to the magnifi cent old zoo and her accounts of coping with the daily routines and lives, of not only the enormous amount of animals in her care, but also of the many people who are involved in running such a colossal and demanding enterprise. Jessica Williams faces her own journey of growing up within this intense atmosphere, while becoming aware of her deep love for one of her co-workers and mentors, an ex-army veteran who is plagued with emotional troubles, amid the concentration of her own dedication to the monumental task of keeping the zoo alive. The two devoted people cohere together to keep the giant enterprise running, surrounded by the many sagas involving the zoo staff and helpers, amid the shocking treachery of Jessies own father. Another character adding to the twisted tales of emotional roller coasters, is that of a young lion tamer Snow Reynolds, who aspires to become a world class prize fi ghter. Just a glimpse of the many colourful stories and realistic characters, evoking the vast array of lives, involved within the walls of the Grand Century Old Matacalli City Zoo.

There may be fewer options than usual for feeling good and finding a healthy high while we’re both in recovery and in the pandemic, but they're available - even indoors and at home. Explore our universal human need to feel good, to escape, or to feel high, and examine what these altered states look like in the brain. Plus discover the six pleasure principles that can provide you the most natural and long-lasting highs. All creatures naturally seek pleasure and avoid pain. And when just feeling okay isn’t enough, people (and many animals as well) often seek or even crave something more—to feel high. For millions of years, humans have used alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs to help them feel better, elephants have sought out fermented fruit, and cats have rolled ecstatically in catnip. At the same time, people have found alternative highs without mood-altering substances, through the joy of natural activities such as play, creative expression, and bonding with others. Drawing on current research and interviews with experts and everyday people, award-winning journalist Jodie Gould explores the universal need to feel good in High: The Guilt-Free Guide to Healthy Pleasure and Escape. Through this engaging read, we explore the history of how and why people have continued to find ways to expand their consciousness and the biology of getting high, including what these altered states look like in the brain. From there we learn why some people can use mood-altering chemicals with few consequences while others struggle with addiction. At the heart of Gould’s provocative findings, she identifies six pleasure principles that show how anyone can experience the best and most lasting natural highs through the joy of: • moving and playing • connecting with other people • finding purpose and meaning • creative self-expression • celebrating milestones • and giving to others High is your guide to experiencing the greatest high of all: Life itself!
