 ML>> only when I was nearby. I ended up with a number of itchies

 ML>> he was not immune from the scratches.
 NB>> I see... you performed your "job" as a mosquito magnet...  sigh...
 ML> Jim was laughing at me. I'm wondering about the picnic -

How heartless of him... ;)  I suppose it could be an interesting
experiment, if you and Steve stick together, which one of you will the
bugs favor more...?  Did we get any data points from last year's
picnic...?  ;)  And then the question arises, if you stay far apart,
will you, between the two of you, attract more bugs away from the rest
of us...?   ;)
 
 ML>> into my pristine system. Insult to injury - no hot water
 ML>> came out of the supposed functional bathroom tap, and I made
 ML>> do by splashing cold water around.
 NB>> Was there supposed to be hot water available...?
 ML> Though in the middle of nowhere, the place is a pretty modern
 ML> house, with the ecologically sound on-demand hot water. The
 ML> problem was that the water pressure was too low to trip the
 ML> heating sensor, and the lowness of the pressure came from a
 ML> leak in the system rather than a lack of water. I ended up
 ML> going to a Hilton to have a shower.

Oh, right, this was the place where the porcupines decided to steal
water from the homeowner... ;0  And you discovered the fly in the
ointment of the ecological theories... 

 ML>> and jury came to a decision quickly that the child was
 ML>> mostly at fault, so capital punishment was not in order.
 ML>> He described the nastiness of the bear's coat, with its
 ML>> malodor and role as a vermin apartment house.
 NB>> Sounds like the bear wasn't particularly healthy... 
 ML> Not sure. I have heard/read testimony that wild game animals
 ML> tend to smell bad (before processing of course), I would
 ML> guess especially when water is scarce. Not being much of a
 ML> hunter, I can't speak to this firsthand, but perhaps others
 ML> here could.

Not a hunter myself either...
 
 -=> Nancy Backus said to Dave Drum <=-
 DD>> Title: Raw Egg Nog
 DD>> 4 lg Raw free-range organic eggs
 DD>> 2 c  Raw pasture-fed milk
 DD>> 1 c  Raw pasture-fed cream
 DD>> 1/8 c  (to 1/3c) natural sweetener
 DD>> - such as: unheated honey, or rapadura
 DD>> 1 ts Fresh ground nutmeg
 NB>> That looks good... as long as one knows their source well enough to
 NB>> be sure of the food safety...  :)

 ML> But ... but ... isn't everything raw and natural and
 ML> organic and pasture-fed good for you?

I was thinking of a particular dairy farm or two that I would never
drink raw milk from, given their lack of sanitation... in contrast to my
friend's farm in Lisbon...  :)

 ML> Actually, to me that looks okay minus the adjectives,
 ML> except that there is a good 10x too much nutmeg.

A sprinkle on top is sufficient...  :)

ttyl      neb

... The only logic in the world is that there is no logic
