Rabies shots? Shouldn't the groundhog have been current on its vaccinations? I mean, they didn't just use some groundhog off the streets, they must have had a professional movie-animal wrangler bring one in, right?

One thing that always bothers me in science fiction aliens is when a clearly reptilian alien female is shown with breasts. I mean, these are egg-laying reptiles. Lizards have no breasts, and so the reptilian aliens shouldn't, either!

A big retailer with overseas suppliers could force the transition to metric. For instance, Walmart could switch its products to metric-exclusive sizes, saying that suppliers will not need to maintain different production lines for two different markets. This would, of course, be linked to a promise of lower prices.

Sadly, there are a LOT of guys like this.

This is a pretty good video, but I cannot find the one I used. He shows good knife handling skills and shows how to hold the carrot to control it well. What he doesn't mention, possibly because it was covered in an earlier video, is the need for a sharp knife, and the feel of the knife bite into the carrot before applying pressure or slicing. He also discards a lot of the carrot in order to get uniform and precise cubes, which I don't bother with.

I was granted an interview for a job as a staff trainer. I was asked to give a presentation on 'why do we need trainers', and so I prepared my talk. Knowing that audience participation can make a difference, I brought a bag with three cutting boards, peelers, knives, and some carrots.

Before the presentation itself, I asked for three volunteers among the committee to come and dice a carrot. Three women (naturally, the men did not volunteer) came, and I let them do the work without instruction. My intention was to compare the different methods they used for dicing a carrot. One person may, for instance, split the carrot in half. Another might cut the carrot to a convenient length first. Then I would show a video of a chef demonstrating the technique. The point that I hoped to make was that people come into a task with preconceptions, based on their prior experience, which will be different for everyone. A trainer is needed to ensure that things are done to the same standard, with the same outcome.

I was surprised (shocked, actually) to find that nobody could dice a carrot! One cut the carrot into round disks. Another minced the carrot. One did not peel it first, while another used the back of the peeler to scrape it. It was very strange to see. ("Dicing" means you cut the carrot into uniform cubes of a defined size)

Sadly, I did not get the job.

From beekeeping books that I have read in the past, you are not supposed to pull the stingers out with your fingers, if you can avoid it. Tweezers or a scraper are better, because the stinger, the venom sac and venom gland are left behind by the bee as it pulls itself out. Pinching these organs will squeeze the venom through the stinger, giving you a full dose all at once. Tweezers or a scraper can be used to pull the stinger out without this squeezing effect.

Some scents have the effect of angering bees. Beekeepers do not use certain scented personal care products because of this. His aftershave may have been one of the type that sets bees off., for instance.

This video tells the story of three men who sailed this race.
"Published on Nov 30, 2016

Three paralyzed men take up one of sailing’s most grueling challenges — a 750 mile race to Alaska through some of the most treacherous and remote waters on the planet. With no motors allowed and many miles from any help, the competition can be too dangerous for the world’s most fearless sailors. This team is out to prove they have what it takes to finish.

That thing must have been good for drinks in any bar in the Union.

When I was in high school, a stray cat started to hang around our house. We never chased it away, but we also never fed it.
One morning, we found the cat lying in a box of sawdust . . . with a litter of kittens.
That was my first cat!

Well, I can see that they spared no expense

Odie?
He's real?

When my wife and I had a photographic portrait done, the photographer had us pose with my wife lower than I. She sat on a stool while I stood behind her. She is an inch taller than I am when standing.
