Was it selfish to want to limit the breeding in the pack? Could it be managed effectively so the females had the opportunity without running amok wit...h our eagerness to mate? The adults took to mating with a relish. They all had to sense that it was unusual, but they all showed their eagerness without dominance. It was curious and somewhat amusing to see Ma or Dau approach one of the males, rubbing alongside them, tails raised high, and flaunting their interest.That was the thought process. It seemed fair to put them 'to the test'. A little inconvenience was in the works for the immediate future of all branches of the government!For some reason, Tom had changed his mind about taking the Judicial branch first, and had started with the senate.

That would not happen for some time, as it was still early in the day, here.I stared at the monitor.. As I stared at myself, I thought about that day. I'd barely thought about it at all in a long time. Before that day, I had been a 14 year old boy. I had been on vacation with my parents and our airplane had been coming in for a landing.

"Are you hungry?" Not really." Good. You're being fed intravenously because you're not in any position to sit up." Oh!" I'll leave you in peace then. Just ring if you want me." Thanks," said Bill."Bill, can I have another drink?" Yes, of course." He helped her."Bill, where's Stephen?" Locked up at the police station." Good!"She was silent and then drifted off to sleep again..
