This is Cuddles, a miniature guide horse who is, yes, wearing sneakers. Horsie sneakers.

Jes, I've heard that these little horses make wonderful guide animals. I had no idea they wore little sneakers, though.

Roberta, I tihnk sealife are very interesting creatures of this planet. What boggled my mind was the fact that some of them live close to vulcanic feasures under water where the temperature would cook almost anything else.

Have you ever visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium?

Hi C.I., No, I haven't been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but I am aware that there are animals that live in proximity to undersea volcanic fissures. Here's a photo of one such animal:

And a cave painting of a bison:

That cave drawing was done by a hunter - and shows why the bison was such formidable prey. Not only are they huge, but the shoulder and front leg block easy striking access to their heart and other vital organs. Now, imagine trying to kill one of these for dinner using a sharp stick.

What sort of devious trickery is involved here, Cicerone?

That guy to the left of the bat might as well have a large TOURIST sign stamped on his forehead.

That guy on the left with the baseball cap is my regular roommate. He was an educator in secondary school, and taught for over 30 years, but had to "retire" when he had a heart attack.

Does your wife know that you have a roommate?

gus, No trickery; that's how big bats are in Bali.

Well, the camera angle did enhance the imagery slightly, creating the illusion of a much larger bat, but I will not go into that right now.
