Thanks Eve for your 11-1-2020 All-Saint's Day post! 90- 95 percent of my meals are vegetarian. I still eat some animal-fish protein at least once a week, because one of the seven amino acids (building blocks of proteins) that our bodies need only can come from eating animals/fish products. That's why research shows that people who are mostly, but not completely, vegetarian have the longest and healthiest life spans. People who are total vegans/vegetarians live longer and are healthier than those who consume lots of animal products, but these 100- percent vegetarian folks statistically are less healthy and die earlier than those who eat small amounts of animal protein because of that one essential amino acid. I love animals and tonight talked to and petted a couple of wild raccoons who come nightly to our front porch in rural Virginia. I also talked to one of the baby opossums who also come nightly, but "Opie" and the other baby opossum are too fearful and timid for me to attempt petting them. The night before last I was hugged and kissed by a wild raccoon! One of my best friend coons, who I named "Cooter Coon," stood up on his hind legs (looking like a human) and grabbed my left leg with both of his little front paws. It was cold and wet outside, about 39 degrees after heavy rains, but I still was wearing shorts during my nightly exercise walk. Cooter then gave my leg a very light love nip with his coon mouth. Definitely not intending to hurt me, but similar to a pet cat showing affection to its special human. Cooter was expressing his happiness and gratitude when he saw me return from my exercise walk, at which point I went inside the house and got him a cup of dry dog food. Among other raccoons and opossums, we also have a mother coon who comes with her three babies who we have seen grow up this year to near-adult size in the last nine months or whatever. The dominant male baby likes to grunt when competing for crunchies with his sibblings, so I named him "Grunter." He's also braver than his sibblings. All of them have let me pet them, and they say "Hello" by rubbing their little coon noses on my hand or leg. Each time I see them I warn them to "Stay out of the roads" and "be careful about other humans because they aren't all nice." So many raccoons and opossums get killed by vehicles on the roads here, and during hunting season (and possibly off-season too) some ignorant and less-evolved people hunt and shoot (for the heck of it) these highly-intelligent and friendly critters, often chasing them down with packs of hunting dogs. Is it any wonder that most extraterrestrials (aliens) do not want to land and say "Hi" to humans in a public way? Humans on Earth are still murdering their fellow humans and the other sentient beings on this planet. The ETs are not stupid. If you wish, I'll upload some of my coon and oppossum buddy videos to YouTube and provide links. Love & Light. From here to eternity, Thoth 11:11 >;< >;< >;< |
