• Quote May 25, 2013
  From Michael Gruber's blog, true and witty but not funny:"I don't much like to talk about my work while it's in progress or read reviews or give encouragement to people trying to enter a profession I know to be a miserable way to make a living, with a premature death rate that compares unfavorably to coal mining."That one would rathe […]

• My computer has just had a mental breakdown! May 24, 2013
  Apologies. Actually the blog and webs seem fine. The mail and some other things are off. I get but cannot receive mail (I get large attachments so that is not the trouble). Regular correspondents are being dumped in the spam file. And oddest of all, I can download photos from my camera, but cannot edit or open or export them-- although I can see thumbnails t […]

• Gun Quiz Solution May 24, 2013
  It was (obviously?) an 1895 Winchester, most famed as Teddy Roosevelt's lion gun in Africa, using its odd heavy load, the .405 Winchester. It was a relatively strong action, and because it had a box magazine* rather than the typical tubular ones on most leverguns, it could shoot modern spitzer type loads like the .30- 06.But what this specimen looks lik […]

• My mom’s new pet dinosaurs May 24, 2013
  Not very big ones! The wrinkles on my knuckles should give you an idea about scale: Smaller than a can of pop! I had Muscovy ducks as a child, but I know next to nothing about keeping mallards. They are in a brooder right now. It’s very cold here today  (in the high 40′s). So they won’t be getting wet any time soon.     […]

• Are they really opposed to the blood purity superstition? May 24, 2013
  It’s well-known that I have my own opposition to religious tenet of blood purity that has unfortunately poisoned so much of dog culture. If it were acceptable that golden retrievers could still be crossed with flat-coats or Labradors and still get the puppies registered with the AKC and the entire FCI system, I’d be all for it. But if you do any crossbreedin […]

• Wildlife conspiracies and the Dale Gribble School of zoology May 23, 2013
  One of the most interesting things about the American right these days is how openly they embrace all sorts of intrigues and conspiracies. Perhaps the most absurd is the one about the government intentionally causing tornadoes to bring about both socialism and the New World Order! But this stuff is actually old hat. Anyone who has ever followed predator rein […]
