Hmm...You could tell a story, sometime...We still have the defeat of Gryll to see happen. And is his ability to train dragons his own or is there the sinister hand of the Alchemist involved? Will the young Ashton learn to accept himself and his talents? Will there be cheese?
That's a hoot. I remember as a youngster the ladies would wear what was called a Beehive hairdo. The older, "churched" ladies never cut their hair either and would pile it up on their head in very high hairstyles. I heard a story (I never witnessed it myself. It may be of Urban Legend quality, "My friend's brother's wife's sister's cousin's roommate heard about...") about a lady who got into the spirit in church and worshipped so hard that her oatmeal box fell out on the floor. The joys of shaving!
No matter how sick you are, somebody has to take care of the critters. It's a strange and interesting problem you have there. Find something the crows like better than eggs and feed them it? I don't know. I know you have done and are doing all the homework you can.
"A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel." It is a sign of your character that you take such good care of your animals and go to the great lengths you did. Armando died as a hero.
