Letters from the Front Line:
Nora: Sorry, Jess, you’re right–I didn’t parse that correctly and tried to correct in my next post, but did not do a good job. You are correct–what would ALSO be a help would be to know something about pedigree,...
Jess: You kind of missed my point. Breeders often tout ‘health’ testing as data aggregation. This is one of the reasons they push testing for rare or non-issue diseases so hard, “if you don’t test, you...
Nora: Jess–just realized I went slightly off your comment. Yes, a central database–but you wouldn’t necessarily test for or report something unless it was a serious problem that affected whatever you intended to do...
Nora: There would have to be an incentive for puppy buyers who don’t intend to breed to have that information recorded, and decent pricing for everyone. I asked the people who bought puppies from me to have them CERFed for my...
retrieverman: The interesting thing is that Germans are also applying for hunting licenses more than they have in many decades: http://www.dw.de/hunting-in-ge rmany-stealthily-gains-in-popu larity/a-2335758
Kali: That the pibble mixed with a pibble? lol
retrieverman: Bill Burr said he got a free dog. He didn’t rescue it. His wife said she rescued it, and he said, “You mean you charged through a burning building to save it?”
Kali: What about Karma canvassing? You can’t give politicians a worse name than they get themselves.

- Quote May 25, 2013From 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 […]Steve Bodio
- My computer has just had a mental breakdown! May 24, 2013Apologies. 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 […]Steve Bodio

- Gun Quiz Solution May 24, 2013It 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 […]Steve Bodio
- My mom’s new pet dinosaurs May 24, 2013Not 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. […]retrieverman
