#1 I just read the email that Gramma Shareen sent out about earthquakes and it reminded me that in the airport on the way here we met the world's greatest saver-dog. Yes indeed! She was a little big eared thing, name Vicki if memory serves, and her trainer was taking her to California for something. But anyway she's one of those sniffer dogs who find people in crashes.
He was telling me she has worked all over the country and the world. She sniffed people out in the Oklahoma City bombing and in the 9-11 attacks and in earthquakes and a whole bunch of stuff. It was cool. Because she was so tiny and just chewing on this frisbee and bringing it over to me to pull on.
Anyway apparently you can teach any dog to sniff people out. You start by hiding in a sleeping bag and having your dog find you and try to dig you out. And then later they actually bury people (shallowly) and things like that. He said that you have to be careful though because the dogs get depressed if they find too many dead people. At the Twin Towers they would have agents and other live people hide in the rubble for every once in a while for the dogs to find so they wouldn't get too sad.
Anyway, so that was Vicki the famous life saving dog.
And these are some of the women of the revolution. The sign says so. "Mujeres de la Revolución". Six of them anyway. Who have apparently trapped six of the "Hombres de la Revolución" in a train car. Those were strange times...but colorful.
