Our vet is an interesting guy.
He’s always very calm. When we had to put down Campbell he was the fellow on duty and I remember thinking, then, that he had that soothing manner you often see in nurses and long-time funeral home workers.
I suppose a serene demeanour helps when dealing with injured, and possibly angry, animals.
Just got notice that all went well with Null’s surgery. He made the call himself, which surprised me a little – usually it’s one of the vet techs who handles the phone.
Even more surprising, however, was the fact that I could hear the excitement in his voice.
“Everything went well with the surgery?” I asked.
“Yes, yes,” he replied, “but I need your email address: you MUST see what I expressed from her anal glands.”
– and now I have. Now I have.
Though I have no idea what I’m looking at, (beyond that I wouldn’t want to wipe it on my children,) our vet stands as a great reminder that you’ve got to find joy in your work where you can – even if it’s in cat-butt secretions.

0Riding Explosions Through Space
0Joe Monk’s giant egg – and its big-bang-based engine – are actually inspired by the work of Project Orion, during which we considered using a series of nukes, dropped behind a heavy shield, to shove a ship across the solar system.
As far as I can tell it’s actually still the fastest method of getting around if we were willing to, you know, constantly be setting off nuclear explosions.
Here’s the 1-meter model in action. Yes, it’s pooping bombs.
