For the Surfing Dog Skeptics

Some
people did not believe that the picutre of the href="http://scienceblogs.com/corpuscallosum/2007/08/photo_of_surfing_dog.php">surfing
dog was
real.  I can't prove it either way, with respect to that
particujlar dog, but I did find a video of
a different dog surfing.  This might give pause to the
skeptics.  The dog in the video is a href="http://www.akc.org/breeds/golden_retriever/index.cfm">golden
retriever.  If any dog could do it, a Golden
certainly could.



The photo, below, is a screen capture.  The video is at the
SLO Tribune, href="http://www.sanluisobispo.com/videos/080407surfdog/slo_video_player.swf">here.

Just before we turn the corner, a woman goes jogging past with a Golden Retriever. As we continue on our way, I can hear the Doberman three houses up barking at them as they go past. The windows muffle the sound, but I can make out a bit of it. "Get offa my lawn! Gonna bite you! My lawn!" When we…
There have been stories and novels about the end of privacy.  1984, by George Orwell, comes to mind.  I also remember reading a science fiction short story once, about how technology had made privacy so difficult to maintain, and so accepted by society, that it was considered rude to want privacy…
Most of the comments people make about our slightly changeable and somewhat odd family are lovely.  Like all parents my husband and I love hearing how beautiful our kids are, how well behaved (even when it isn't always true), how nice it is to see us all together, what fun it is to see a big family…
