NWCN just tweeted that a DeBrazza monkey has escaped and Woodland Park Zoo is in lockdown while its recovery is in progress. No word on the sex, but if it is a male escapee, it'll have a bright blue scrotum, which may aid in spotting it. Seriously. That is an Animal Fact! [UPDATE: The monkey has been caught. Lockdown is over. Please return to your normal daily routines. The Zoo says, "The animal had been at the zoo since May 2008, but was just being introduced for the first time to its outdoor exhibit this week, located in the zoo’s award-winning Tropical Rain Forest. It was his second day in the exhibit. We’ve returned the animal to its behind-the-scenes holding area until further notice. This will allow us to assess the exhibit and make any necessary modifications."]

Seattlest needed a brief reprieve from the city, so we headed east on Highway 2 for three hours to the Bavarian-themed tourist mecca of Leavenworth: a perma-Christmas wonderland of knickknack shops featuring more dipping sauce stores than actual tax-paying residents.

...and nobody escapes, does anyone really care?
