1. the first real snow fell last night. what a gorgeous morning. four lovely inches clear and white. by ten all the roads were clear and the sun shone bright. a perfect snowfall just right. 2. Jacks DNA Certificate arrived today and I am now fascinated to compare with other people to see if any of the breakdowns match up. Must call the Newtons and see. What fun! 3. Dropped video tape off to be burned to DVD. no new orders came in so i expect the ones who wanted it sent for it fast...... I learned a lot doing this one. i always do. Digitized features will not transfer to regular high eight tape from digitized tape. that is from camera to camera. so all the digitized titles get wiped out. you need special lab equipment in a high tech lab not a photo lab to do it.things can be upgraded but not down graded.its a one way street. my next camera will take everything on dvd. 4. To get in on the medical discussion. Baytril is an expensive drug. The cost of a vaginal culture which y ou need to do anyway is less then ten days of baytril would cost you.(ten days is the normal medical prescription)the culture will tell you about more then just mycoplasma.Brucellosis also required is different. its a very dangerous in fection that can wipe out an entire kennel. Just ask cattle farmers. 5. The Immune system is a whole other story. I am working on capsulizing my info on that. I was one of the first children in the country to be raised by public health care and given many different types of immunizations. they were incredibly successful. i kept health records and fertility records and exact records on all births and eventual deaths. The immune system can be introduced by reading the story of Achilles. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
