In other news, I received an email from Eduardo yesterday. It was short, just "Como estas, Meli" and he said that Rob and I were "muy vonito" in the snow photos I had sent him. I was on cloud 9 all day though. Its the first I've heard from Eduardo in more than a month, and I am much relieved to be assured that he is still there.
Now, I'll address some recurring questions that people have been asking me.
Firehouse Spaghetti-- this was actually spaghetti consumed at the firehouse. Unkie John is a firefighter, and every December the fire station has a spaghetti supper fund-raiser.
The differences between apes and monkeys
Compared to monkeys, apes have:
- NO TAIL
- a very flexible shoulder (for suspensory locomotion)
- larger body size
- larger relative brain size
- longer infant dependency
- highly complex social pattern (though there are some exceptions)
- 5 cusps on their molars (monkeys have only 4)

I'd put an example of one on here, but that would be waaaaay too educational. If you really want to see one, come to the class I'm teaching next semester.
Thanks for reading and happy solstice.
