On the subject of baby bp, his sparring at karate last night was very good. The best I have ever seen him.

And they are both autistic. And adopted. Their parents are very very nice. Their children are improving - slowly.

I told baby bp this morning how I dissected a rat at school when I was 11. He then went and told his mother I had digested a rat at school....

Hundreds of years ago(when Zeity was just a teen) it was hard to bake bread. The bottom of the bread became very very hard. The rich ate the top and gave the bottom to the poor.

The poor used the bottom of the bread as a plate.
