[nq:1]And, it doesn't get much more Republican than Idaho.[/nq]
Boy, I dunno. I spent much of this week at a meeting in Washington. I drove down and left the behemoth in the long-term lot at Dulles, which meant ... driving through Pennsylvania (I hate driving through Pennsylvania). The road signage gets more threatening every year, and it's gotten to the point where it's just hundreds of miles of "DIE! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE DIE DIE! DO WHAT WE SAY OR YOU'RE GOING TO DIE DIE DIE! DEATH! CARNAGE! DIE DIE DIE!! DO WHAT WE SAY OR DIE DIE DIE!" which struck me as just about as Republican as you can get.
ObDog: stopped at Cabela's, examined their "dog energy treats," was profoundly unimpressed.

I am feeling all smitten with Max #22. I think it would be hilarious to have him come running when I turned on the shower!

[nq:2]And what do you do with your database of dead animals?[/nq]
[nq:1]Add to it when I take new photos. Use it to locate images. That's pretty much what a database is for. Shelly (Warning: see label for details) http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther)[/nq]
No, I mean who has the necessity to use these photos of dead animals. Are you a animal forensic scientist?

Do you read previous posts and retain them??
She said a couple times that she sketches, and uses the photos of to learn how to draw her sketches more accurately.

Now you're just being ridiculous. I assume this is in order to maintain your pissing contest with shelly? Fine, but at least pick a topic that's actually worth arguing over fergawdsakes.
Many, MANY artists do this. They see things differently, they view things differently, and they are trained* differently. Every visual artist that I know has studied not only human cadavers, but animal carcasses (and those far more often). That's just how it is. There's no darker motive, or serial killer aspect, its a fascination with form, with what's *underneath the form, and the visual interpretation of that form..among other things.

I have many friends that are visual artists. One of them can't actually see an animal dying or suffering in any way without sobbing herself (overidentification with animal suffering to a paralytic degree. Makes her useless when it comes to helping in rescue), but she can still sketch them, and adores the sketches that our mutual friend has done of animal bones and remnants. Its just a differently way of looking at something.

Apparently not. And, how much do you want to bet that next week, he'll be picking on Sally for being a bone collector?

There ya' go! It's amazing what a little reading comprehension and information retention will do, isn't it?

Yes. And he's not the only one. Jack can't tell Sally and I apart, either. Maybe Pfoley is Jack's sock-puppet?
