Again, Please?

Guess what day it is??????????

I hope this finds you safe and well; we're good here.

After holding a grudge against me for about 12 hours for trying to cut one of his toes off (um, I was just trying to work towards clipping a toenail, he blew it way out of proportion), Benson is back to our never-ending game of fetch:

He's waiting for me to throw it here.  The indestructible rubber squeaker is just out of camera range.

To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way.
