Definitely. They were often really ornate. Like this one.

Well, my husband has big feet...

We've had Netflix for at least 6 years. It's awesome. Right now we have it set up so we can download movies to a queue and watch them instantly on TV. The newer ones aren't available for immediate download so we still get DVDs mailed to us. It's fantastic. I recommend it highly.

My husband has a CB, truck drivers still use 'em. Surprisingly, the modern version doesn't really look much different. That middle thing. Leg to a pedal sewing machine?

Yes, of course diseases are shared by species, and that is how they are passed around, but most viruses, for example, evolve so they affect one species more than others. There are vectors and carriers, but a virus has very specific criteria for who or what it can infect. Giraffes don't get...

No, it isn't really discussed, that's just my logic. And no, viruses like that tend to be mainly species specific. That's why your dog doesn't generally get the flu or a cold from you.

Disease, DK. Like the avian flu or some new airborne virus similar to Ebola, might effectively wipe us out. I think it's a very useful thought experiment, actually, because it underlines what our impact is on the earth. This show is so totally fascinating to me, being a bio geek. And I...

Lots of black vultures in these parts! I love the hairdos on the mergansers. Beautiful shots!

Oh for corn sake. I guess this shouldn't be a surprise.

I am liking Amelia myself. An inspired idea. :)

That makes me very sad that someone would have such disregard for a living creature, but it plays over and over again.

I still can't believe it. Nice Christmas present, eh? The bus doesn't come with the house, by the way. Bob, I'm a research scientist for Pfizer animal health. You know what, Boyd? Michigan isn't THAT cold. Comparable to New England. It snows practically every day in Dec-January though...

Thanks, Boyd. :) This is our new place. It is private and wooded, has five acres, a heated workshop, a pond AND river frontage. (yes, it has both). We got it for 230. I can still hardly believe it...

No you sillyhead. :) The map. I was referring to the map. We found a great house and had our offer on it accepted yesterday. Unbelievable what you can get for your money in MI. I start my new job Feb 1 or 8th, I am not sure yet. I am hoping for the 8th, I have a lot of work to do for this move!

Ooh. :( Poor little dude. I am glad you rescued him. How awful, the poor thing must have been freezing.

I love NJ and everything in it. Well, almost everything. It certainly makes ME happy.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Freaking great. I was all happy about this until I saw that Michigan is two places below NJ. Good thing I'm moving there in five weeks.

WOW! Phenomenal photos.

Whoa, Bob! That's a lotta snow! Surely a few more inches than we have in Trenton. That looks like more than 12". We probably have 8 so far, but it's still coming down! :dance:
