Better Late Than Never...

And it's the thought that counts, ain't it?

My kid brother turned 34 the Earth Day just passed. We celebrated with some fried Ivory Billed Woodpecker from a recent Arkansas hunting trip, though Mom says nothing stacks up to Dodo for a birthday dinner.

Instead of champagne, we opened some cans of R12 and just enjoyed the hiss of the escaping gas. Mom was fresh out of chlordane, but we found some even older stuff you couldn't read the label on in her basement. All I could tell was it was made by Ortho sometime before lead-based inks were phased out of U.S. printing, and it didn't taste like it looked.
