@Terasta, Gev and Silent Hunter: I'm gonna back out of the debate and let it go. Please don't infer that as a surrender. The fact is, I'm sick, I can't get help, universal/single payer/public option healthcare is the only chance I have of getting better again because, under the current health insura...

From what I've seen, it's the Libertarians who are taking up the $$$ torch and pulling corporatism into their Big Tent. Their rallying cry right now is "Let the Free Market take care of it!" and are always going on about not wanting to pay taxes. There's a lot of anarcho-capitalists in tha...

It's been a long, hot day here and I'm tired, so I'll keep this short — Let's keep in mind that McCain's first choice for a running mate was Joe Lieberman. The Theocratic branch of the Republican Party, Karl Rove, and Rush Limbaugh, pressured him out of it and fronted Sarah Palin. I don't know what ...

Yep, I credit those throat-singing lessons I took a few years back at Burning Man. It totally opened up my throat chakra and taught me to pull it up from my toes. BTW, Burning Man is a wonderful venue for howling. You get a perfect shot of the rising moon over the mountains east of the Playa and the...

Yep, I just caught this on Digg. Another article says she wasn't going to run for re-election, didn't say anything about resigning. I'm hoping it bodes well for the wolves too, but there's a lot of wildlife officials up there that feel the same way she does and I'm not holding out a lot of hope. I c...

A couple weeks ago I was up in Washington for a horse show. The showgrounds were near the Muckleshoot Reservation and there was a resident pack of coyotes in the vicinity. The showgrounds had a campground and I was sharing a nightcap with some other horse people, when the coyotes started singing off...

Have you read the revised GoF tribebook? The rest of the Fenrir can't rip on the Swords of Heimdall enough. In fact, they were the focus of an infra-tribal purge. They fall in the Hel-hunt, along with their buddies in the Thule Society. I did a revision on the camp in my game; there are the fringers...

The problem is, I'd have to transport the horse to the sleigh, thirty miles through snow and sometimes ice, up and down some fairly serious grades, to get to work. And like I said, he hates snow. I'd have to wrangle 1500 pounds of snorting, pawing, cranky muscle and princely attitude. Not worth it, ...

I just ran a game a couple weeks ago at BayCon. It was a low-attendance pick-up game but the Game Room staff liked it so much they asked me to submit an official game next year and put it in the program. Yay! I'm an official GM at BayCon! :) Anyway, it was only a pack of two — a Shadow Lord and a Si...

When I was at BayCon a couple weeks ago, the subject of the Benandanti came up on one of the panels. Much interest was expressed and I was approached by several people who wanted to know more, after the panel broke up. I've done a little more reading into the legendry and found a contrarian view of ...

She's probably a Naga (the mythological kind, not the World of Darkness kind, and not the tribe). They were consorts of Indian royalty and had human heads on semi-human torsos on snake tails. http://www.enchantedgal.com/images/Hindu-Naga_Kanya-Kimberly_Crick-5w.jpg It's going to be interesting to se...

NO!!

When? How??!

Human nails work as weapons. Obviously not as well as comparably-sized mammals' claws, but well enough to pluck eyeballs out and cause some fairly nasty, jagged wounds when ripped across flesh. My ex could tear apart beer cans with his nails. Unlike claws, however, fingernails just sit on the skin's...

I'm going through a drama right now. I have 1 week to get 3 female Splits for my boys and the two I grabbed/bred this week hatched out boys :( So I released one and froze another, and pushed my last remaining Split mare up to the top so she'd trickle down some girl-mojo. Another friend on the DC sit...

New development: The grey wolf has been taken off the Endangered Species List — but only in the Yellowstone Basin and the northern Rocky Mountains, i.e. Montana and Idaho. In the case of Idaho — well, that's easily answered. The governor is a tub-thumping redneck who's almost as bad as Sarah Palin i...

I never support wolf hunting. The Obama Administration really dropped the ball on this one, but wild animals aren't really his strong suit. He's a 100% city boy. I do support livestock loss compensation and relocation before instigating a hunt. Defenders of Wildlife are working hard but I think they...

I was listening to NPR in the car today. They had on a guy from the CDC talking about "the swine flu epidemic." Here's the scoop, at least for the New World: 1) The disease was first noted amongst hospital patients around Mexico City. 2) Some people are trying to spread around a conspiracy...
