Good (Encouraging) Stuff (Part 2)

Who’d have thunk that the biggest challenge for poor people is poverty!? It’s almost like other problems are easier to deal with if one isn’t completely destitute.

I cringed when I saw Travolta was involved, but unless they expand it, its a non-speaking role.

And we’ll always have Fireside Al:

Oh interesting. Listening to this has been a family tradition since the mid-90s (although most of the tradition was us hoping to find CBC on the dial at the right time in our rural community).

My wife and I were just talking about checking out this version as a family.

Texas catches a lot of grief these days. I thought it was refreshing to hear this on NPR this morning. It’s a twofer - the story itself, plus the story-within-a-story at about 0:50.

If it’s good enough for astronauts up in the Space Station…

Note that the ISSA recycled water is cleaner than tap water.

I have limited experience of llamas obviously but I was under the impression that they were large, spat at you, and can be kind of aggressive (don’t they use them to fight off wolves from flocks of sheep?).

Alpacas on the other hand are cute lil emo kids.

Llamas are dangerous, and if you see a llama where people are swimming, you must call out: “¡Cuidado, llamas!”

Both llamas and alpacas are really mellow. They spit at people who are abusive to them, but are really friendly otherwise. We know several farmers down in the Shenandoah valley that put llamas in their field with sheep to keep the coyotes away. They don’t fight coyotes off, the coyotes just avoid them.

If you ever have a chance to go to Cusco, Peru (that’s the closet city to Machu Picchu) Quechua woman roam the streets carrying baby llamas. They stuff them into your arms and want to charge you to take pictures with them. The babies are the cutest things on the planet and you’ll end up shelling out a few bucks.

Yeah, no… I don’t trust them.
