Perspective
You know, politics in America really isn't THAT bad.
"A TV ad for Mugabe's Zanu-PF party in the run-up to the 1990 parliamentary elections featured the sounds of a car accident followed by a voiceover that intoned: "This is one way to die. Another is to vote [then opposition party] Z.U.M." In 2005, Mugabe ordered the security services to level whole districts in towns across the country, depriving 700,000 people of their homes or livelihoods out of fear that urban support for a new party, the Movement for Democratic Change (M.D.C.), would foment rebellion."

Back to the books. Recent highlights: Melissa's wedding, hanging out with the fam, seeing a wild goat, communing with the elk (Tuesday mental health trip to the mountains), Ezra the cutest baby ever (!!!), how bologna is made, how to feed ferrets, Brucella is bad, Herpes is bad, ears are AWESOME, there is a lot of sulpher in Argentina and I will NEVER learn how to spell sulfer, Mrs. Moses is a great little chicken and so is Pheasant, and "suffering" is the state of emotional distress associated with events that threaten an organism or thwart it in meeting its basic needs. Max does not have heartworms. I would like to work for the USDA. Strokes are bad even though clots are good. The mules like tea.

Comments:
You have stumbled upon the answer to one of the great mysteries in life. In England there is a great and long tradition...."Everything stops for tea." (Also good music by Dr. John) Your discovery enlightens as to why mules so often stop at inconvenient moments....they're British !.

 | Eowyn If I were a character in The Lord of the Rings, I would be Eowyn, Woman of Rohan, niece of King Theoden and sister of Eomer. In the movie, I am played by Miranda Otto. Who would you be? |
