The Long Goodbye
Over the course of my adult life, I have had seven dogs. Four are no longer with us, but three of them still are. One of them is a bubble-headed purebred cotons, one is a wily trickster we found hiding under a truck in the Mojave desert, and the big black one……..well, she’s my favorite.
Her name is Coda, and those of you who have watched my tastylive program have probably heard her snoring loudly in the background. She’s a love, and a very good girl.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
I am fascinated by this map: it shows the Earth 20,000 years ago, which is a blink of an eye in geological terms and, quite obviously, with plenty of human beings. Click it for a bigger version and see how much more land was exposed.
