I read about higher suicide rate among dentists, also veterinarians to my surprise. Here’s a copy of an email from one we know.

“Dear Friends: If you are linked to a person on social media who works in veterinary medicine you may have noticed them changing their profile picture to include "NOMV" with the Rod of Asclepius. Some of you may know, but if you don't, NOMV stands for Not One More Vet. Because we have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession. When you see your friend or social media acquaintance change their profile, it's usually because they have learned of another colleague that succumbed to suicide. Be kind to your veterinary healthcare team - from the front desk staff, veterinary technicians/nurses, kennel attendants, and veterinarians. They are literally dying trying to help you.”

The veterinary field does appear to have a significant percentage of alphabeticals, who as a group have a high score in the suicide statistics.

This is more information than I signed on for.

On the other hand, if she can shoot cookies like the gals in Tijuana shoot ping pong balls and billiard balls, she could have a future in the entertainment business.

I had an old ‘56 Dodge with a Red Ram v8 in it. I dropped the front end into a ditch on an icy stretch and plowed through the vegetation. When I got home, I wrestled about a wedged 2-3 inch sapling from under the front bumper. I could not find a bit of damage to that car.

Sometimes children are the first to understand logic that evades the rest of us. As an outside observer I think it will be interesting to see what happens to blockchain when the nano computers that can crack cyphers in milliseconds come online.

My oldest daughter was a vet tech/assistant 20 some years ago, but didn’t have any accreditation. The vet was a no nonsense type of guy, kind of cold but direct and to the point, he was our family vet for years. My daughter is a tough cookie and has the same personality so they meshed well and he told her she should go into the practice. He would let her assist in surgeries which she loved. She also did euthanasias which she was able to block out for the most part, until the day she had to euthanize a litter of puppies that were dying from parvo.
That was that. He told her that if she planned to be one, she couldn’t be an emotional animal lover, cause it will eat you alive in the long run.
