tonight smithsoniqan "dogs with impressive jobs". . at 8pm eastern. starring bella and george...i hope all teh great dane people watch it... ( along with all the brown dog people). HAVING george( and bella... and her family...) do so well has been the highlight of my career... along with helping bella .,... i certainly wouldn't want to attempt climbing mt everest---to have been a lifetime goal-- that would not have helped anyone.-- except for those natives who will carry your equipment up ( and you down if you don't make it. )--
Still, even though bees may be smarter, ants are among the top most intelligent insects. One study showed that ants possess the ability to use tools – which is a common way to assess intelligence.
that last one got me..... using tools is getting bred out of our DNA as teh younger generation can only sit and wiggle fingers-- this exercise does not produce much food or clean water-- so someone better get on the ball... ( we need a mike rowe university !!!) can you imagine an entire country where not one person knows how a siphon works -- or how to fix one that does not siphon????... as in toilet flushing...???
i do struggle to do my part..... as i cleaned oout and attempted to organize teh shop-- i constant asked whoever was standign around. what different tools did..it became very clear.... anyone under the age of 30. did not know a phillips from star.. from slot or square bit.. why we need all those i am not -sure....except i have a 10 pound bucket of screws need ing a star bit-- and i own only one of those-- now taped to the ignition of my golf cart. for security...---
