into the room with the wrong color slacks the other
day, Josi did the same routine on her.

Rescue mutts can have some odd quirks.... leftovers from past abuse, in
many cases....

This was a dog that had been brought up in a
pack of beach strays and semi-feral dogs of
mixed heritage that had been trained as a guard
dog at a place my friends were renting, and my
friends and Josi bonded so well that the owners
gave her to them as a gift, which made for a major
project, getting a dog from Nicaragua to Costa
Rica to Canada (necessarily bypassing the US).

Probably both ways, and that's one potentially
good fallout from the utterly pointless custom
of home DNA testing - people will realize that
their own heritage and that of their closest
enemies are totally the same (or close enough
as makes no difference).

That can be the case even without the DNA, just the research... :)

Or with the DNA and without the research!

I was almost afraid to break the news
to my maternal grandmother that families she'd proudly claimed as Dutch had turned out to be clearly German... fortunately for me, she'd already reluctantly come to that conclusion, having observed some of the family stones in nearby graveyards.... ;) (this being not PA, but NY)

See above, lather, rinse, repeat 100000 times.

She took it well, actually... :) Genealogy research usually contains surprise revelations of heritage, with or without the DNA testing... :)

But it doesn't make massive difference in any case,
except in the attitudes and prejudices department.

He was a less favorite professor. I knew about the
bibulous habits of only my more favorite professors.

Ah... so we still don't know if your professor did... but he may have, I suppose... ;)

His son, my classmate, writes that Bill Buckley
gave him (the son) a case of wine for a wedding
gift, so somebody must have learned something
from somebody.

One could well surmise.... :)

Further testimony indicates that the old man my
professor was legendary for his capacity.

Although after having eaten a quarter pound of
beef fat, I sometimes feel as though I've just
done my body a disservice.

For your stomach's sake... or your heart's....? ;)

Gall bladder as much as anything.
