...H/W groups have more people than the various shipper groups combined. Not that this means anything (Fox certainly isn't going to hear us) but it's interesting to me, stats neb that I be. The Adams/Jefferson sequel is coming back to life again. I have to first finish Chapter 3 of the infamousmystery novel and then I'll finish UP2. Horked from the wise and wondrous deadasleaves What...

Turns out his pin (the fixture that was implanted to help his broken wing heal properly) was poking through the skin, sticking out of his wing and probably causing him great pain so that explains his sudden disinterest in food.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their childrenwake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." ~Thomas Jefferson, 1802
Update on these two: It looks like Jefferson went through surgery for his wing just fine, and had a pininserted to hold it together. He will be ready to go home, with pain meds, as soon as tomorrow. Clipper may or may not have a bacterial infection or possible continuing worm infestation. Her gram stains showed very little, and blood only shows a slightly elevated white count. She'll be on antibiotics...
...very sick. In fact the vet is surprised she's still alive, but she is showing improvement - when she first came in she was curled up in a ball and hardly moved, now she's lifting her head and is awake for a while each day. We're still not sure what her final prognosis will be, but for now we're watching and waiting. And this week we took in Jefferson - an adult bird with a broken wing.

...and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities. Thomas Jefferson First Inaugural Address March 4, 1801
...party. The party that was born out of Lincoln and the first civil rights debate we generally refer to the American Civil War. Maybe during the debates, he will invoke the original Democrat, Thomas Jefferson, who i belive said (paraphrase) a little revolution from time to time is good".

...then find that it goes away? When I was a kid this applied to my favourite cereal, bacon-sausages (NOM!), and so forth. WELL, let me tell you that a name has been derived for just such an item: The JeffersonStandard. The standard which is met and never seems to be met by any similar item thereafter. Now you may wonder, why the JEFFERSON standard? This story actually has to do with a boy who...
