Animal husbandry

I listen to sports radio, and sometimes during football season, the newscasts are one long injury report. Someone has pulled a hamstring. Someone has tweaked an ankle. Someone has aggravated a tendon. Someone has strained a groin. (A groin?)

Anyway, in the midst of one such report today I learned something truly significant. Somewhere in this great country of ours, a professional football player is nursing a calf.

I know a lot has happened this week, but this is a breakthrough for our species, and I think it deserves wider play.
