@Viss @catsalad You can also hear it, probably with less physical pain, by getting the Heretical Fishing audiobooks.

(I am not affiliated with the author, the publisher, the fantastic narrator Heath Miller or, as far as I know, any human involved in the production or sale of these audiobooks. I just love them.)

"Trees" are not a biological grouping the way, say, "mammals" are. It's just a body plan. An oak tree is more closely related to a daisy than to a pine tree.

@victoria @catsalad MORBID STORY I met a man who had an alsation who was rescued after his owner passed away and the dog had been trapped with him for several days, well, you can guess what happened. the new owner said he was an absolute sweetie but the only strange thing he did, if you were sleeping on the sofa, he'd place his nose right on your eye and inhale deeply. It just made me think of that!
