Kent arrives

Oregon law permits assisted suicide, under certain circumstances. But that is not why my nephew, Kent has come to the Pacific Northwest. The mantra for the next few days is "Maximum Adventure." Consequently, Carpesummer might need to step up to the next level.

Kent is training for a helping profession. In fact, merely discussing counseling and philosophical concepts along Trout Lake Creek, this evening, has helped me. Kent denies categorically any intent to assist in the suicide of a raccoon in Idaho last night on his drive here. He was not acting as an unlicensed veterinarian. In fact, HE was the victim of the deranged beast, which was probably rabid, which means Kent probably should earn high praise from those who live and own pets in the area where the bloody massacre occurred.
