Wonderful as usual!

(BTW, Snowden was headed to Venezuela via Cuba when the USA revoked his passport, indefinitely extending what was supposed to be just a layover in Russia.)

I haven’t listened to the episode yet. Your teaser about bats has me intrigued. For what it’s worth, I’m on team bat. 20% of all mammal species are bat species. Now that’s diversity!

For some reason I can’t post photos in comments - however - this is the model I scored (barely used!) from sofa u love- very pristine condition with a custom slipcover that laundered up beautifully. Only a Benjamin and a half!

Old timey rabies vaccine! Now there's something I know about! Not 1923, but...

I was mauled by a stray dog when I was 14 (in 1975) and had to get the rabies vaccine treatment because we could not track down the dog for testing. At that time, it was a series of 14 shots, one per day, injected under the skin of the stomach. They had to use long needles because of the volume of the medicine, it had to be introduced as the needle was slowly withdrawn. I was a very skinny kid so there wan't much insulation under the skin! My stomach was so sore it hurt to laugh or sneeze or cough.

My older brother took my plight very seriously, comforting me with the fact that if I did get symptoms of rabies, I would still have time to bite my enemies before I die.

I want to see a Dr Katz episode with Paul parallel parking while the cat watches and judges.

Is “I was a baby during watergate” the sequel to “I went through perimenopause during lockdown”?

Amazing memory! From a baby during Watergate to peri through Trump 1.0: one woman’s harrowing journey surviving patriarchal corruption and poor policy as just a regular American trying to make sense of the high crimes while trying to live a joy-filled, harm-free life!

I would instantly buy a grandtrees shirt or sweatshirt! Especially from kinship goods.
