The Moon and some Haiku

I didn't start talking until many months after what was deemed "normal" at the time.

I was also being raised by my six-years older sister.  I'm sure she did her share of translating my oral and physical communication, so I had less motivation to have my vocalizations be generally recognizable.

At around age 3, when I did start talking, I spoke in complete sentences, and, I started with:

"I want to be the first boy on the moon"  (Circa early 1958)

Any vocal deficiencies I appeared to suffer from have given way to my capability to share a truly  exquisite aural experience.

People have told me

My voice is enchanting...

Hope I satisfy.

Furries vs. Planties

One of my weirdest first dates was with a woman who confided, during a sushi dinner, that she was into "kink".

Not to seem put off, surprised, or otherwise intimidated, and, knowing there are many types of "kink", I asked if she was into "Plush" (by which I meant "Furry", as portrayed in the comic attached), which I would consider kinky but harmless...

No, she assured me her interest in me was that I was much bigger than she was and therefore could definitely inflict pain.

Mad Cow Disease, it may not be just from cows anymore!

"...according to the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease article, there are several reasons to be concerned about fish spreading mad cow to humans. "

I find hope in that someone is actually trying to do something proactive about a possible vector for BSE.

It's gerontological in provenance, but universal in consequence. 

I lived in the U.K. pre-Mad Cow culling of the beef livestock.  

Been 20 years, about enough time to exhibit symptoms...

I don't know about me and I expect my clone lacks prions.

The last line can be "The Bottom Line".

Here's the literal "bottom line" from an AP story on Y!ahoo

"An Indian official told Clinton that India won't accept limits on its greenhouse gases."

"We have met the enemy and he is us" - all respect and credit to Walt Kelly for "Pogo's Observation".

From nearer the top of the article:

"The G-8 summit members in Italy agreed to limit the planet's average temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above levels recorded 150 years ago."

They neglected to suggest how this could, or would be done, however.
