You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Shir, I'm glad to read your sister is safe.

The pictures of Matilda at circus school is adorable! She looks so tall.

I have insurance on it. So, they're sending me a new one on Monday and in the meantime my old one is activated.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm glad your sister's okay, Shir, and all good thoughts to those who were affected.

BT, courage and strength to your nephew, his family and yours, and to the medical team treating him.

Oatmeal and chai.

Daniel, in answer to an earlier question, no, neither the state nor the city have recovery programs for roadkill deer. The state has a fairly good habitat zoo that exhibits large carnivores. It would seem logical to quarter and freeze roadkill deer to provide them occasional prey-equivalent to gnaw and worry as they would in the wild, but zoo dieticians are more concerned with calorie content and fiber-roughage-fat-protein balance, now with added vitamins, and preservatives to keep it fresh. Seems a sad waste.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

When I drive past a deer corpse at the side of the road, I feel the same. I feel sad that the deer has died, and also that if it is not fresh, it's death will be a complete waste, and do no good to any one. And then I get to worrying about scavenger animals who might be on the other side of the roadway from the corpse, who will put themselves at risk in order to get to it. It's a whole bundle of not good.
