On the bright side, his appetite has become much more healthy. He ate more at dinner last night than he had in quite some time (and kept it down -- a concern when coming off anesthesia). And begged some fish from our dinner.

If he had lesions in his mouth, that probably had a lot to do with the lack of appetite. Glad he's doing better.

I guess it depends on what your definition of "domesticated" is.

The contrast between that and the near-psychotic level of rails and warnings you see in major national parks here really struck me.

I love that! It was also really striking to me when we were in Grand Staircase-Escalante, how Disneyfied the parks are. It GSE, you can go anywhere, flood plains, slot canyons whatever. you're on your own. Which I admire.

Go BLM/national monument land.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

IIRC, from conversations with Victor and Thessaly, ferrets are legal in MA.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Will someone who doesn't understand gravity actually comprehend a warning label?

Gravity is just a theory. School districts prefer to teach "intelligent attraction" these days.

My understanding of a domesticated animal, from a scientific/archaeological perspective, is that morphological changes in the animal have occurred due to human contact. So, for example, the modern farm cow is a lot different from the wild cow ancestors of the steppes. Mink that are kept at a fur farm may have a human-productive use, but they are morphologically unchanged from wild mink and are not domesticated by this definition.
