Alas, alas...they are furry and the laboratory is not a good place for them, the noises, the artificial light, molecules that escape their containers to float in the air which may tickle their little noses!
Ollie went into deep thought. He was torn between management positions, outdoor supervision, gardening, and bird hunting where he would be allowed to also spend time meditating!
When we were having this discussion one day...one particularly lovely day
Note that Ollie is sporting a feline Michael Jackson look, he has one wrist bare to look more punkish!!!
Augustus was more resolute, and exclaimed that he would gladly take care of the birds and the squirrels_which meant that he was interested in animal control without the khaki uniform. He wanted to be an under cover agent!

The squirrel was confused.

The squirrel was confused.
We decided to momentarily reflect upon this unrelated theme only because I could not get my thoughts focused too, I really wanted their readiness:
"In creation there is no evil; all is good. Certain qualities and natures innate in some men and apparently blameworthy are not so in reality. For example, from the beginning of his life you can see in a nursing child the signs of desire, of anger, and of temper. Then, it may be said, good and evil are innate in the reality of man, and this is contrary to the pure goodness of nature and creation. The answer to this is that desire, which is to ask for something more, is a praiseworthy quality provided that it is used suitably. So, if a man has the desire to acquire science and knowledge, or to become compassionate, generous, and just, it is most praiseworthy. If he exercises his anger and wrath against the bloodthirsty tyrants who are like ferocious beasts, it is very praiseworthy; but if he does not use these qualities in a right way, they are blameworthy. Then it is evident that in creation and nature evil does not exist at all; but when the natural qualities of man are used in an unlawful way, they are blameworthy."
Ollie appeared puzzled and I realized that he does not know what evil is, and that is a good thing. I had to control myself as I was about to lunge towards him for some kisses.
Ciao!
