All I need to do is pop in and mention the dogs. That always seems to bring an end to things. So, that dirty bastard Doxie got a Kangaroo rat this afternoon, and would _not_ give it up!

Yes, I have. The obvious reason is that my thoughts were so concise, penetrating, and all encompassing that there simply wasn’t another single thing for anyone to add. ---
