"Our humanity were but a poor thing..."

                                                this animal seems to have lost its right foot to a trap
 

                                         no surface water for miles around so a small water bowl is nice

                                           this white tailed antelope squirrel likes a treat of peanuts

well the fox seemed to have a good coat and clear eyes and not too thin, the rather disgusting disfigurement of the coyote/wolf only shows the endurance these animals have...the native people said they would be "the last animals on earth"...or not...there is still a good population of kangaroo rats here also...

among some of the followers of Jesus of Nazareth this is the evening before his supposed birth...or Christmas Eve...I highly recommend an excellent and learned final lecture by Bart Herman from UNC where he taught...he is probably one of the best informed  "non-christians" around today....

I have been thinking about a problem for a few years now which is if the entire galaxy, solar system and the earth are moving at high rates of speed and so I guess so are we humans on this planet and if movement affects time can we as humans separate from these moving entities and have out relative age affected? anyhow this about that...

and remember Alan Kurdi...probably not...he is that little boy who was washed up dead on a beach wearing his little boy shorts and shirt and devoid of life...he was just trying to live...
