Byron, you are a beautiful person.

I am certainly not free of flashes of anger, fearful reactions or periods of despair.

I hope to live up to your words some day...

Now, not only do we have to worry about why the chicken crossed the road, we apparently also have to worry about why the chicken jumped into the bathtub!

Speaking of cows.
Here is Ferdinand the Bull.
Ferdinand is a bull in Spain who prefers to sit under a cork tree and smell the flowers than that, like the other bulls, attend the bullfights in Madrid. One day Ferdinand happened to settle on a bumblebee, and reacted by running fiercely. Everyone thinks he wants to be on bullfighting, and he was sent there. But Ferdinand would not fight the matador and was sent back home ...
Fictious Ferdinand

Oh! Poor raccoon!!! She looks pregnant. I hope she got out of that bin.

You've really got to admire her tool use. I don't know what evolutionary pressure made raccoons, or raccoon ancestors, so darn smart. Makes me wonder....

Given their excellent problem solving abilities, it is no surprise that raccoons tend to do well wherever they live.

I would think it is the the hand-like dexterity of their front paws... using our hands for complex tasks (spurred by by walking upright freeing them for use) is one of the drivers of the growth of our brains and intelligence.



Give it a few thousand years. :^)
