I knew Siamese and Burmese were both alleles of TYR, but I didn't know they were this well-documented. Our cats are all mutts, from two different litters, but all three colorpoints (the above Burmese-style boy and two Lynx points).

Cool. My fed worker wife has been working for an IOU for the past 40 days, and we were making it work because the fight was worth having.
Thanks for making all of our stress pointless, Senator.

I'm just going to keep sending Kaine and Warner this photo over and over for the next 40 days.

I sent emails to both of them since no one is answering their phones right now. Would a voicemail to Warner be better? Kaine's line didn't give that option.

One big lesson from Franklin is that the Nobel Prize is absolutely antiquated and should not be viewed as The Stamp of Approval for Scientific Enterprise.
a) It's awarded years after discoveries, but you can't be dead yet.
b) It's for max three people. Science just isn't done in silos anymore.

First, the weirdest population of one of my study species grows in Bronx park, so you never know!
Second, I’m SURE the rush of petulant children making good on their threats to flee NYC will leave lots of vacant land that could be converted for agriculture.
Staten Island Prairie, anyone?
