My folks seem to be safe. All but one of them are Japanese, and they tend to live long lives. I am still a virgin in this game, this year anyway. ---

The last known living 9/11 [search dog](http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/living-911-search-dog-dies-texas-age-16-39657227) has died in a Houston suburb at age 16. Bretagne (BRIHT’-nee), a golden retriever, was euthanized Monday at a veterinary clinic in the Houston suburb of Cypress, according to a statement from the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service. RIP Bretagne I know, I know…not human. But I think it is worth the pixel ink to note it here.
