 Okay. Except of course where in some parts of the world ..well we won't
go there.

Here's a funny about hogs. At a Stockyard show where there's a animal
nursery you can watch chicks hatching :) That's a delight! Not just
for kids! And next to that is a sow and her piglets. There's heat
lamps all over for the piglets to lay in. Anyway one time when we went
to see the animals the sow was nudging her piglets to the food. She
turned around (toward the visitors) and let go ... You wanna be out of
the way when a hog shoots a hershey.
