Bacon Bits
Yesterday Mary and I went to the state fair. I had a live radio interview to do there so we decided to make a day of it.
The interview went well, the food was great...but the highlight? ---we saw a bunch of piglets being born. That mother spit out twelve squealing little ham dinners faster than you could say, "Mmmmm, bacon." (BTW, the newest food on a stick this year--chocolate covered bacon. Nope, didn't try it.)
At one point during the birth, my wife Mary snidely said, "Those piglets couldn't have been more than two pounds each. Big deal. I don't know what that mother was whining about." She's got a point. Plus their heads were MUCH smaller.'
Anyhow, here is a three part sequence of the second little oinker getting pulled out. (The first one came out fine, but the vet had to 'go in after' the second one. Spelunking at it's worst. Yikes.) Notice the vet holding up the piglet in the third pic.
And I thought my proctologist had a crappy job.
