And the Chinese eat them

Lewis and Clark did too.

Not that I’m in favor.

You are a Jets fan. You should know about gangrene.

That was 2 years ago though and the arm is still there. :)

I guess there was still some kind of infection underneath.

I’m relatively healthy.

All the more shame that I destroyed a perfectly good body :)

But in the 80's you looked like Mark Gastineau.

But Refrigerator Perry was a good player too.

I miss the dog I have never had. I’m not home very often, so it wouldn’t be fair to the dog, so I’ve never had one.
Lately I watch Hope for Paws videos on youtube, and it makes me so sad that I can’t have such a joyful creature in my life.

The Lund University researchers set up a behavioral study whereby three dogs were presented with a pair of objects, one neutral object of roughly an ambient temperature and one with the surface temperature of a furry mammal. With training, the dogs were then able to distinguish between the two objects from a distance of 1.6 meters (5.2 ft), based purely on radiant heat.

At the proper temperatures I can do that too. On my face, and on my arms when I am wearing short sleeves. Can’t everyone when they actually pay attention? Some people blast more than others.

The temperature of my dog’s nose is Absolute Zero.
