US = not eligible for the EU.

This might seem obvious. But the reason I am pointing out that the US couldn't join the European Union isn't a geographical one. The EU doesn't let any nation join that has the death penalty on the books. I'm listening to a story about Turkey's efforts to join the EU on NPR and they had to abolish the death penalty before they would be seriously considered.

Way to go, USA.

Billy is naturally clean.

At least that's what the AKC says. Dalmations are supposed to be naturally clean. Whatever that means. They don't mention the brown mouth smudge that comes from who knows where and gets on everything. Gross.

Anyway, here is more information about Dalmations:

The Dalmatian is a naturally clean dog who is easy to bath and groom. Daily brushing minimizes shedding.

The Dalmatian may appear snobbish with strangers, but loves his family.

The have a great sense of humor and many of them smile when happy.

It's true about the smiling. Billy's sense of humor seems to pretty much be "F-you." He must watch too much South Park.

Fair warning.

If I don't get a big pile of money from someone or something (like, oh, the lotto) soon, I'm probably going to start killing people. So everyone should probably start wishing me the best in the monetary department. And also, just in case I don't get a big pile of money, you should probably be really nice to me, because if you're not, then you might be the first to get it.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
