Hal :

I have a special treat for you when we meet again. A doctoral dissertation on the digestive system of the turkey vulture....actually interesting.

some helpful sites...

The much maligned and avoided turkey vulture performs an essential and efficient role in the animal world.

Vultures are also protected fully by state and federal laws. It is illegal to kill, injure or possess one of these birds.

Larry,

Yes, your perception is correct. I found in the thousand's of patients I saw over the years, and still seeing, is that their pre-morbid, (before traumatic event, war, rape, etc), had a bunch to do with the severity, length, etc of their PTSD. One of the reason's I try and get a good history of the person before the event. It will direct where I probably need to go in the theraputic relationship.

Now, what's up with all this Turkey Vulture Fart stuff????

Paco,

See.That's what happens when you miss a campout;you end up a year behind on the important discussions.Your expertise on PTSD is all well and good but do you know if a Turkey Vulture has an asshole?Do you care?SHOULD you care?

Larry,

In all fairness,you're gonna have to bring Packo up to speed re the Great Turkey Vulture debates before presenting any new evidence.It's the right thing to do.

I care..... and everyone else should care. Especially if you're standing under a soaring Turkey vulture. I for one can only assume that a turkey vulture dines primarily on road kill (meat)
which means that vulture excrement ($hit) is probably comprable to human excrement ($hit) I do not want vulture excrement ($hit) landing on my head or the winshield of my car......This topic will be covered in great detail on the mountain

Bob K :

Oh, how very wrong you are !! Re-read what you wrote... LOL. I could go into great detail, but will forgo that in the interest of others on the Internet. After I have had a couple six packs of St. Pauli Girl, which Mustache Mike so graciously supplied last year, I will tell the tale.

hint : it starts with a bunch of programmer / analysts some 15 years ago at the place I used to work...their sense of humor makes BobK sound like a minister.....if u get my drift.
