Planning to share with some likely fans. Thanks for sharing the wealth with worthy organizations, and thanks for being kind to animals.

Will you barter doughnuts for a subscription? You can always share them with Molly and Barbara. 🍩 🙂

Well done. Those of us concerned about wildlife and all animal welfare may feel torn between many requests and (mostly, I'm sure) worthy causes. It's useful when someone acts as a sort of curator and verifier. I'm going to give a subscription to my younger daughter, Liz, who right now is a bit preocuppied with her own new daughter.

Seeing this comment today for the first time since I sent it, I'm chagrined to note my typo in "preoccupied". Two c's, one p, not one c, two ps. Well, you know, I'm 80 now. And also a besotted grampa.

Okay, fine. Explain this to me. My Substack, the Gene Pool, costs $5 a month or $50 a year. How the hell do you and Babs squeeze that extra four bucks out of your readers? If you explain that publicly, right here, I will BUY ANOTHER YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION but only if you simultaneously apologize for stealing the name of my daughter -- which you know quite well -- for your sweetie dog. The Mollys of the world demand it.

Simple math, Gene. We lose money on every subscription, but make up for it in volume. I do apologize for borrowing your daughter's name, but I know she loves animals....

Thank you for your generous second subscription. See, now I've lost $8 on you, so I'll be rich in no time!
