Hi Blayde: Sounds like you are having quite a time with your back. Sorry you have to go through that. The only drawback about pepper is the heat, huh? Hope you've had a chance to view some of the papier mache' I directed you to. I told Claudia' that a couple of my friends from NV might visit. She was estatic. This guy in another location in Brazil recently made me his contact at Flickr too. When I looked at his papier mache' I was euphoric.

Thank you for your comment, Blayde. I like your posts, too... you always make so much sense, and in such a rational way. You are never insulting, even when you might be forgiven for being so...
You are right about pets. I've had everything, from dogs and cats, to horses, to tarantulas, to rats, mice, gerbils, guinea pigs and hamsters (I have hamsters now). I love animals (as if you couldn't tell), and have no prejudices against any species (but horses and rats are my favorites, if I have to choose). When an animal looks you in the eye with such profound trust, it is truly humbling.
