Aww, Dallas was such a wonderful dog.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At least they had good, rich, *loved* lives. They did good. Their owners will miss them sorely, no doubt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hayden, congrats on new employment!
I have no Al Capone stories
My grandfather was working as a mechanic during that era, and according to a family story, Al Capone came through town one night and his car broke down, and he showed up at the garage where Granddad was working late, and Granddad fixed his car and he gave him some big tip. No idea what Capone was doing in rural Tennesee, and probably Granddad thought it best not to ask.
I do really want to go to Rabat, Morocco, and see the old quarter of Salee, where the Salee Rovers sailed from and where Murat Reis, ne Jan Jansen of Harleem of the Netherlands, ended up an Admiral of the Sultan's Fleet.
Now there is the making of a fine historical novel, my friend.
Good-bye, sweet doggies. Too many pets lost this year, already.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh, poor sweet doggies. Thinking of Trudy and of your sister, Tom. It's hard to lose a long-loved pet.
heart disease drug may combat racism?
egad, don't read the comments, they are full of virulent racism. Clearly the implication that racism can be reduced is just too threatening for some.
Although my take on the study is that it is unlikely that this drug would actually work as a medication to reduce racism and more likely that the study illustrates some of the unconscious pathways that lead to racism.

I have thought that many a time, including the story of his son who came to America and got married on the ship to a former barmaid from Amsterdam, who was fired because she was too friendly with the patrons of the taverns. They were sued many a time by the well-behaved citizens of New Amsterdam for being lewd and troublesome.
