Texas A&M announced yesterday that they have successfully cloned a horse and named the colt Paris Texas. Sheep, pigs, cats etc have all been cloned now. Big deal. Clone Secretariat, or Trigger, or Black Beauty or Bullseye and we'll talk.
What famous animal would you like to see cloned the most? What do you think would really have a "wow" factor? Send me your ideas and I'll pass it on to the Aggies so they can work on something more important.
Am I nuts or does the new Pope look just like Robert Blake?

It's official - Elton John's publicist said that the singer is going to marry his long time companion. Elton said that after Prince Charles and Camilla's wedding he thought people were ready for same sex marriages.
About your vacationing question, have you been to the Ozarks? There's canoeing in Arkansas, and of course, Branson in Missouri.
If you're looking for more ambitious destinations (and a complete deviation from TX and TN humidity), try Flagstaff, AZ or mid-state Montana. Those mountains, evergreen trees, and near-freezing nighttime temperatures make for some good family memories. Especially if you're tent camping.
Yosemite is epic. However, I was there last April and there were already huge crowds.
Hope this helps. I've driven from Missouri to Alaska three times with my kids, so I feel like a seasoned pro. We've had some grand times, and some shitty ones. Mostly, road trips for us have been our opportunities, as parents, to reinforce the importance of being members of our family "team." My kids responded well to that, and the arguments in the back seat (and the front seat, too) were kept to a minimum. Don't mean to get preachy. Just sharing what worked for my family.
Plus, when you drive 4000 miles, things tend to get a bit silly. Mass hysteria over the stupidest things can carry you fifty miles, easily.
clone - Chupacabra!!
OK, serious question. If a black cat crosses in front of my car on the way to work, BUT does not quite make it all the way across the road...is it still bad luck? Does it matter which wheel and which side of the road said cat began his journey?
1. its bad luck for everyone if Jed is behind the wheel
2. depends on where the cat works
3. clearly bad luck for the cat
4. in Tennessee, you can take any road kill home (presumably for dinner)
5. Goes best with red wine (if entered on the port side) - beer if from the starboard
Of course there is that great bluegrass song...
My children are hungry,
my dog needs a bone,
I just lost my job,
I'm on my way home.
When there up ahead,
much to my delight,
there is a five pound possum
in my headlights tonight.
There's a five pound possum in my headlights tonight,
If I can run it over everything will be all right
