Would've been easy peasy hunting for a ferret. When a cricket chirps
here it lives for maybe two minutes before a cat ferrets it out.

Lentils are easy, with water they go down like swallowing a baby
aspirin.

You're in luck. I just happened to see the answer to this on the History
Channel. It was aliens. 12,000 years ago in the Mesopotamia area. They
mixed their DNA with the hominids they found indigenous there and taught
them everything about civilization. And since it was on the History
Channel, it must be true.

Oh Jaysus, are you talking about the Anunnaki? I've got a couple
friends (strange, but true) who have been trying to convince me of
this nonsense fer months. Here, you read it. I cannot even discuss
this silliness without falling into a laughing fit:

I can't hear them. I can hear a Canada goose honking four miles away
and the very distant rumble of thunder when my wife can't. She told me
crickets were loud tonight, and that startled me. I thought crickets
were extinct. Between the two of us, we have the hearing acuity of one
forty year old.
Yeah, yeah, hearing aids, blah, blah. There are real benefits
associated with going deaf.
