A good day

New Chinese Motto: “Have One Child. Please.”

Steve Barnes is in town, and Niven, Barnes, and I went up the hill, 4 miles round trip and 750 foot elevation. Sable has hunted gophers on that hill for all of her eight years, and today she caught on. A good day, but I’m exhausted. And the Lakers blew game three in Denver.

Good night…

To remind you of what Scientific American once was and sometimes can be again http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/thoughtful-animal/2012/04/30/dogs-but-not-wolves-use-humans-as-tools/  (This was actually mail but now I can’t find it. I’m good at losing things.) Psychologists have been trying to determine who is smarter, dogs or wolves, but that’s the wrong question. Dogs do what they are good at, and rely on humans to do the rest.  Wolves don’t think they have that option.
