End of April

The precocious 11-yo daughter, lugging around a dogeared copy of War and Peace was *not* my kid!  We have never even visited Nashville!  And anyway, she's 12 now.

This month's Ranger Rick has a red fox on the cover.  Red foxes live in the boreal forest of Canada.  In this month's cartoon, one of the animals brings a lot of toilet paper on a camping trip.  The foxes in the forest complain because many trees are cut down to make TP.  To save the forests we must recycle our paper.

Um, excuse me?  Recycle our toilet paper!  I don't know *anyone* who tries to use that stuff again!  I used to buy Marcal® toilet paper (recycled from post-consumer waste) until they stopped distributing the 2-ply stuff and went whole-hog on the 1000-sheet/roll crap.

Here are anti-Semitic cartoons drawn by Jews.  The "blood libel" seems a repeating theme in these drawings.

Some people think that Westerners use far too much toilet paper. Much of the world doesn't use any toilet paper. And a book I read implied that just by using muscles correct and such you can avoid using very much toilet paper at all.

And I think I'd agree about 10,000 years ago...
