  1. Lovely hippo drawing. I live in the hippo capital of the world–Hutto.
    Did you see Kathy Waller’s post on the hippos of Hutto? I will try to find that for you if you haven’t seen it. The worship of the hippo is alive and well in this community. Good kids at school are named “hippo of the month” and everywhere are statues of hippos, some painted, some plain.
