I liked the video of Mommy Otter teaching Baby Otter to swim. I’ve been there with my own kids - well, I haven’t pushed their heads underwater… When my daughter gets back from camp I’m going to loose her for three days on that site. ---

My mind has been blown. > > Streuth you never heard of deer mice? They carry the hantavirus You know, I had heard of them, mostly because they carry the hantavirus - but I had never seen a pic and did not know why they were called dear mice. They really do rather resemble deer, don’t they? ---

They really do rather resemble deer, don’t they? I hate getting “old.” It’s getting harder and harder for me to suss out when people are kidding or not.
