Kairn’s Cause
Kairn’s clothes clung to his shivering body as he watched a car slowly pull away from the gate he was overlooking. It was a miserable night. The black sedan slowly pulled down the long drive with its wipers on full blast in an effort to battle the downpour. It did as much good as the poncho Kairn chose to wear for this excursion.

Animals and Cognition
Pets are a huge part of most of our society. They love us unconditionally for their entire lives. We are probably not worthy of them, but I believe we do the best we can by loving them and taking care of them everyday we share together. Part of caring for a pet involves a little insight into what makes them tick. This article is intended to serve as a thought provoker so you and your dog can maybe understand each other a little easier and both be better for it.

Civility, For Better Or Worse?
Nature is part of who we are. We are entirely a part of nature that has segregated itself from the environment from which it originated. Once we roamed the plains alongside the great herds that gave us sustenance. Then we built villages to better survive our environment. Later towns began to mark the landscape as we learned to farm and domesticate our food. The first true cities were a far cry from the plains where we used to rest our heads, but inherently safer. Or were they? We no longer feared the dangers of the wild as we had before. With housing came the safety of our walls. The reliance on nomadic herds of food animals soon became a thing of the past as our farms grew larger and our food source more "sustainable". Medicine saved us from the illnesses that once annihilated entire tribes. Yet our self confinement to the luxuries we created for ourselves allowed new illnesses to arise within our society. With change came adaptation and technological advancement. Some for the better.. some not.
