He used the skill to win bets on things like "which book in the shelf was last handled?" and "which coin from this handful of change was last handled?"Fred Drinkwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619653106362906811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-32894390190804470672016-10-11T11:13:38.107-05:002016-10-11T11:13:38.107-05:00Thanks for sharing this article, Althouse.

We get a lot of joy watching his delight on walks as he sniffs everything around him. He especially likes to smell the marks on trees and steps and signs and fire hydrants left by other neighborhood dogs. He always leaves his own mark in return. We say he's checking his "pee-mail".FWBuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659814282551363901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-2228866067140944162016-10-11T11:12:14.373-05:002016-10-11T11:12:14.373-05:00Apparently there is now a smell test for Alzheimer...Apparently there is now a smell test for Alzheimer.

I would assume in most, if not all cases, it was consensual. If there were cases where it was not, they were cases where it was no big deal, cases where the contact was sexual assault in the same sense that a pat on someone's back is simple assault.Ignorance is Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338942311894099159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-44783507577906548302016-10-11T09:52:03.464-05:002016-10-11T09:52:03.464-05:00"Ignorance is Bliss said...
