Good article, Witty Ditty! smiley - smiley

The house where I grew up was next-door to a sheep pasture.
The owner of the sheep also owned a tennis court, and allowed
my family to drop in periodically for a set or two of tennis.
I personally came in contact with the sheep a number of times,
particularly one ram who was fond of butting me. I don't know
of anyone in our town who ever caught anthrax from our
neighbor's sheep--or anyone else's sheep.

smiley - blush Thanks!

I wrote this in a rush, the whole 'anthrax risk' thing was all over the tabloids here, as I am sure it is in the US.

The smiley - sheep theory eh? Well Wales and New Zealand seem to be fine, and as I understand it, there are two smiley - sheep to every person in both cases; man, woman and child smiley - laugh

Thanks again for the compliment!

Stay smiley - coolsmiley - sheep,
