The advent of frozen food has put an end to vegetable trimmings, and all of our dairy and poultry comes from cartons and cardboard, not directly from the animals themselves.

There I was, speeding along the highway, following my friend Jody who had *my* new dog on his scooter. I’d slept on it for two days and finally decided that I would take the little mutt in. I examined the specimen on Jody’s scooter. She was shivering, a fur covered bag of bones, her nose jutted into the wind and for some reason she was constantly licking the air. Lick Lick lick.
