I was on vacation, and just last night checked my 800+ messages.  Too old
to reply, and who would voluntarily dive into a T Schaivo discussion?

My wife and I stayed for a bit with an old Navy friend in Jacksonville
Florida, newly retired and a single mom; she is home-schooling her son with
some woman down the road.  She was saying they had to discuss what
textbooks to get, and I (knowing her prolictivities) slyly suggested I'd
send her "The Origin of Species", to which she replied,
"What's that?"  I told her and got the expected disapproving
glare.  She later told her children (we saw a "Darwin fish" on a
car) that Darwin said Man wasn't created the way Jesus said, then amended
that to "the way the Bible says."

We did not, needless to say, discuss politics or the afore-mentioned Ms.
Schaivo.  But I got some quality cat-and-dog time, with my wife sitting as
far away as possible-- a pug, a dachshund, and a shedding long-haired cat
all draped over me!
