QotD: Privilege of Human Beings

"Rats and roaches live by competition
under the law of supply and demand;
it is the privilege of human beings to live
under the laws of justice and mercy."
--Wendell Berry

QotD: Man is an Animal

 Man is
and remains
an animal.
Here a beast of prey,
there a housepet,
but always an animal.
~~Joseph Goebbels (German Nazi propagandist)

QotD: A Boat Rightly Made

If rightly made,
a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal,
a creature of two elements,
related by one-half its structure to some swift and shapely fish,
and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.

--Henry David Thoreau, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers

Movie notes: Monte Walsh

It's an old western with Lee Marvin, really a wonderful movie about a cowboy who looses everything but maintains his center, his calm and his kindness.  It seems to be about the end of the Wild West.  There's a fantastic and long riding scene in which the cowboy named Monte "rides the grey down".  Humorous too.  I liked it.  My mom complains that it was slow.  She already deleted it from her direct tv.

MERS and Camels

Arabian peninsula = Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Leb¬anon, Oman, Palestinian territories, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Yemen

MERS is the viral infection that's causing severe respiratory disease in lots of folks over there. There have been just a few cases in the US, starting in May. I'm wondering if military personel are coming back sick? Apparently pretty much all of the camels on the Arabian peninsula have this virus. We don't know if it causes chronic infections, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did, considering what we are learning about viral DNA mingled with our own.

QotD: Motives

Maybe
some day
a chicken can cross the road
without having its
motives questioned.

Nice acrobatics on the part of the ape who would like to frighten away a tall man.
