For sheer oddity it is hard to beat this story. I also love the very casual last line: “Marriages between humans and other living beings are not uncommon in India. A tribal girl was married to a dog near Bhubaneshwar recently.”

Master zoological blogger Darren sent me this wonderful old Christmas card of his: It is all absolutely scientifically valid; for confirmation go here
Chicago, Chicago
Having banned handguns, homing pigeons, and foie gras, Chicago is now considering a ban on french fries. Other things up for consideration are diapers for horses, uniforms for cabbies, and a law allowing only smokeless cigarettes. On the fast food fat ban, Alderman Burke says he “… doesn’t know enough about the subject to identify …
More Goleta Birds
I found out inadvertantly last week that Blogger apparently limits the amount of “content” you can put in a single post. If you have a lot of pictures to show you have to break them into different posts, as I am doing here with more Atascadero Creek/Goleta Slough bird pictures. As I said, it’s a …

As pups and work permit, there will also be posts forthcoming on micro- shotguns, Jesuit big- game hunters with snakes named after them, …
