I'll take the honor, thank you very much.

I never thought I'd say this, but ...

I'm glad you posted.

Did devildeac take you on the Alaskan cruise?

Glad you're back.
Cheers,

It appears to be missing a few teeth...

He reappears - huzzah! Was about to go in search of you off the boards, just to see if everything was alright.

Aww, shucks. Thanks for the warm welcome. I can't believe I was gone for so long.

Went to Durham for a wedding in early June and was offline for most of the weekend as a result. Ever since then it's been a blur of work, work, work, a visit from the family, and 4th of July celebrations. I'm still very busy this week and may not be around much, but I'll be back to full-time PWing in no time.

We took CathCA's advice on the other thread, and wound up working with a stager. WOW! Definitely improves the house, but we'll see whether it works.

I'm glad you decided to hire the stager. We had results (a firm offer) within 5 days of going on the MLS. Sadly, as you noted, the stager improved the house dramatically, and when she was finished, I didn't want to sell the house. I took lots of pictures and I hope to recreate her magic in my new house in N.C.

(BTW, this is my first ever post on the LTE.)

Welcome - the more, the merrier! Plus, now that we know that BillyBreen is alive and well, we need more help pushing the LTE past his own, personal post-count.

2511 - prime number (?)

(No, I don't know how I do this. But I am usually correct.)

Also, I had to respond to DA. Part of a way to maintain our "connection."

Oh crap - no sooner had I posted than it hit me. I was wrong. 837*3 = 2511.

[Shammrog]

Note that 2513 is, however, prime!

Thanks, man.

What's your fascination with prime #'s?

Mr Shammrog, I beg to differ. According to my sources, 2513 is the product of 359 times 7 and therefor not prime.

Oh, crap. You are right. I am slipping.

[Shammrog]

Nothing, really. Except:

A. I can (usually, see above) do this in my head.
B. It is a good way to gratuitously pad my post count, and
C. I like to think of it as a unique method of courtship...

Just so happens a friend of my daughter hates prime numbers. Could this be a case of opposites attract?

I found the raccoon skull in the back woods. It's all cleaned off, down to the bone. Without the ears and fur it doesn't look much like a raccoon. Curiously, there are a pair of peanut sized "protrusions" in the back of the mouth, on the roof, behind the teeth. Wonder what they're for.

I don't see the "peanuts" you're discussing. On each side of the upper jaw, I see four premolars (two fell out postmortem, as per Ymo) and two molars (the rear teeth). If you could photoshop an arrow pointing to the peanuts, I might be able to respond better.

The upper dental formula appears to be 3 incisors, 1 canine, 4 premolars, and 2 molars (3142). Note that the buccal (cheek side) surface of the molars is raised, much like many carnivores.

It's a full adult raccoon. Maybe it needed an invisible fence to protect it from the foxes!

Lavabe
