The Dog Ate My Homework

Guess what day it is??????  I hope you're safe and well; we're good here.

We knew from the first day he arrived that Benson liked to surf wastebaskets for tissues and paper, so into the cabinets they all went.  I'm waiting for the day when he figures out how to unspool the toilet paper.  We've been fortunate so far, particular in these times, LOL.

So I should have known better than to leave a draft of a project I'm working on with a friend on the floor unattended.  I left the room for no more than five minutes.  I returned to see Benson chowing on it; here is what he managed to do in that short period of time:

And he didn't just shred it like a normal dog, he ate the pieces!  Given all of the other things that have travelled through his tiny dog innards, I'm not yet too concerned, but I'll definitely need to Benson-proof my study.  Brewster once ate parts of two library books, thereby beginning his very own library (because we had to buy them!), but I expect that they smelled so interesting that he couldn't help it.  No one tell Benson that books are made of paper, we could have a real dilemma on our hands!

There is some knitting happening over here, and some new yarn has arrived to try to lure me away from it!  Never a dull moment!

Poisons

Macinnis, Peter (2004). Poisons: From Hemlock to Botox and the Killer Bean of Calabar. New York: Arcade Publishing. From the author’s web site : "As usual, I am interested in the people, their interactions and the social effects that poisons have had, as well as the science. There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. 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. I think there is just to
