Hey Zeus....tell Pop, he'd better be real careful taking Elk and deer. Deer in particular. There's a "wasting" disease working it's way thru their population. It appears to be related to Spongiform encephalopathy....the brain dissolving Mad Cow Disease. It's a Prion disease, not a virus, and apparently untreatable. No one is sure if it will move to humans or not, but there are warnings issued here every year for the last four or five. It has been moving steadily North and west. I've eaten Elk...it is excellent....but I'm not trading my brain for it. Of course, we roll the dice every time we eat any meat, I guess. Worrying times for us carnivores

How did you know I call him "Pop"?! Yeah, we have heard about that and apparently they did find a case or two in ranch deer somewhere, if I remember correctly. My dad always goes waaaaay into wilderness so hopefully those critters will be alright for a while. As for brain dissolving... my dad and I don't have too much to worry about there!

I'm thinking, when the time comes...I'd be mighty fine to go out that way, and get really timbered up, and slip out from there. Let the animals and all, have at the remains and get recycled that way...I'm just worried about the horse getting back. Even up into the big empty in Idaho. I miss living in the mountains.

I totally hear ya! I could never put my dad in a home, it would kill him. The older he gets the more he talks about dying. He told me he doesn't want to be buried next to his mom, even though there is a spot for him. He wants me to take him up into the mountains in a casket (no embalming) and let "the bears sh it him all over the woods". You might be onto something though, he just might take himself up there early to make that happen if he were to know it was already coming. He wouldn't want a funeral cuz he's never liked big groups.

Great Minds think alike!! I'm totally recycling my body. Give back just a little.

When we all move on to the VX commune we'll have "stew night" every once in a while...
