Obviously, he does, but it's for free, so he needs to keep it secret, especially from IRS. You'd better tell Russel, ... oh, wait, he's dead. Never mind. On a related note, it is a good thing for crocodiles that they do not discuss logic.

Speaking of Something Positive ...

John Horton Conway passed away on April 11, 2020.

Eh, not quite fair. I hate to have to say it, I don't like the man, he was in over his head when things were benign, he's not the man for today by any means, but he did not choose the events; he's responding, I think, rather poorly, putting our lives at risk, but if another Great Depression comes, it actually won't be his fault; if anything, he's doing things to head that off that I consider to be unsafe. OK, maybe costlier in the long run, and maybe that will be on his plate, but he is, at least, taking the economic threat seriously. Not that it will do any good; it's like bailing the boat with a small bucket while the waves are washing in. I just hope people remember the depth of his bull$#!% in November.

Not an art style I'm fond of either.

Randy Milholland has made a name for himself as having this as policy for Something Positive.

I need the Cheshire Cat smiley, with only the grin.

Barbecue is the thing around here, and all of the Barbecue places have pulled pork as their baseline. They also have an assortment of sauce styles available, from Texas sweet and thick, to runny Carolina Outer Banks vinegar and mustard based, some hot, some not. Guessing Wendy's would be somewhere in the middle of that, trying to market to everybody. And the plethora of styles is probably why the project was doomed.

Evil Dan interpretation: Maybe he knows that and he's trolling ... ?

That sounds generally applicable to so much of life. In the end, we're just hamsters running in our wheels, until we finally stop. My thought on the afterlife: "It wasn't what I expected, and neither is this."

Nope. Can't be a cat. In the dictionary, they have a picture of a cat for 'bipolar'. "I was beside myself when they said I had a bipolar split personality."

Well, so does your cat, just on general principles. She is, after all, a cat.

My perspective is dated; doubtless there has been some consolidation. Still, not only PERL has regular expressions. I like that one. Lol, true. And there's that whole thing about who shaves you if you're a barber that shaves people who don't shave themselves.

Watch out for them bipolar bears, the ones that are cute and cuddly one minute, and snarly and nasty the next.

2nd take on this, they are territorial towards each other, so swarms does not make sense. Another odd note, one years, "What the hell do you think you're doing, releasing that?" is next year's common species. Pythons are serious competition for alligators in the Everglades. Each is capable of and willing to try to eat the other.

Well, we take cat naps, so ...

I haven't heard that one. American gators are large, but not particularly aggressive toward humans. They were hunted to near extinction for their tough and decorative hides, the tail is also valued for meat. I've had alleged alligator, it wasn't bad, but I don't know how you could tell that's what you were actually getting. The taste is not that distinct. They are a fresh and brackish water animal, said to be tolerant of cooler climates than their relatives. My ex-father in law who hunts in the swamps around Charleston, SC, has seen them there. I would not be surprised to see one near me, but we'd be on the fringe, if at all. They can move fast, but stamina does not seem to be their thing; quick lunge, them I'm done. Hence the miniature poodle tally. Crocodiles are related, they are more salt water tolerant, and generally more aggressive. American crocs are on the low end of this scale, smaller than their cousins around the world. They are far less numerous than gators here, generally only on the southern tip of Florida, but can be found around the Caribbean. They are about the same size as American alligators, and not all that distinct, although side by side you could tell them apart. Then there's the Canadian Trap Door Alligator, that only appears in Something Positive.

She's doing a good job. Pushed quite a bit off the napitation area already. Does she take human naps?

Alligators eat whatever is handy, but they don't feed that often. Their diet seems to be primarily small yappy dogs being walked near the bayou. Yes, they do us all a great service. Manatees do not eat the alligators. You need to read the edumacational literature.

True, that. I hate the seagulls. And what's up with hanging out literally thousands of miles from the sea? I've seen huge flocks of them in totally inappropriate places. Compared to seagulls, pigeons, aka flying rats, are pleasant ambiance.
