Why would happiness enhance memory? Maybe because you don't have to spend psychic energy trying to forget.

We got the bright idea to catch them with baling hooks. Guess we were a little more sadistic than money scheming. Like you we never caught one. We did run them all off. Gradmom was not all that happy that the hay bales were scattered, mashed, and strewn all over the loft. She never complained about pigeons again. It took us a long time to get that hay put back in order.Grampyhttp://www.goatsass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-37750066023948473412011-07-12T09:55:29.465-04:002011-07-12T09:55:29.465-04:00You need to start writing and publishing these tal...You need to start writing and publishing these tales.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-9833808797240528932011-07-12T09:46:18.907-04:002011-07-12T09:46:18.907-04:00This is a great story!
