You might want to get that checked for Naegleria fowleri.  Nothing spoils a day at the park like brain-eating amoebas.

Badgers?  We ain't got no badgers.  We don't need no badgers!  I don't have to show you any stinking badgers!

I heard Peter Coyote on Fresh Air years ago (here's a transcript - http://www.petercoyote.com/….  He spoke about some of the pitfalls of all the free love stuff that people don't usually talk about.  He called it "death over the orange juice" - i.e. sitting down to breakfast with your partner the morning after they…
