It's Nice Our Cows Eat Grass

Here's what they eat in the States: The new proposal would still allow animals to be fed material that some scientists consider potentially infectious, including the brains and spinal cords of young animals; the eyes, tonsils, intestines and nerves of old animals; chicken food and chicken dung swept up from the floors of poultry farms; scrapings from restaurant plates; and calf milk made from cow blood and fat. - nytimes.com

Well, I'm 25 today. No birthday card from mum or dad - I guess she forgot to put that on the letter she sent.

However I do have lovely friends who texted and emailed and a mate of mine is coming down from Wellington for tonight and Deb gave me $20 (which I unexcitingly but very gratefully spent on fruit, milk and dog food) - so I have had a good day, and that's about the best you can hope for when you're a quarter century old.

I can finally rent a rental car, but I can't think of anything else I can do today that I couldn't do yesterday. It might bring my insurance down a little or something, maybe.
