When there were a number of shootings on the road to Jerusalem, I tried to be careful to take the bulletproof bus (which I’m sure my mother thinks I still do, so shhhh…), but the roads have been quiet for the past year, so now I mostly hitchhike (much more common in Israel than America.) There you go. Chryslers are OK, so long as they’re bulletproof. > [@mutantmoose](#): > > Camels are good - with the humps. But elephants are also good - with the long nose. > > Which one’s better - camels or elephants? I can’t decide For my money, they’re both better. But you’re not asking my opinion. And I have no money to give you. And even if I had money, I wouldn’t give it to you. Which I guess is basically the same thing.

I am enjoying reading through the journal now, lets me remember where I’ve been and where I really want to go. The only critters I saw were ground squirrels, toads and the occasional tree frog. In years past in the same canyon a family of bear have wandered through and several mountain lion sightings…there is not a lot of big game in there to hunt so I think the big predators stay away by in large. Saw some Big Horn Sheep on the high cliffs…that was cool! True fact\* sheep are a known cousin to camels. So I think we can count them as winners in this debate. \*facts have a margin of error of +/- one species. > [@Digital\_is\_the\_new\_Analog](#): > > What do you have against [these](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=391621) [two](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=556325) threads? > Seriously.

Or I could say that this isn’t a debate thread where I pull in and quote every relevant person to answer. But instead, I think I’ll just say that I’ve learned my “find” capability on this computer has a very limiting factor where it only looks from the start of words and I missed the freemasons completely.
