Tuesday February 18, 2014  Warm enough that I saw a man wearing shorts.  Up to the mid-40s F.
To Southeast Library.  Picked up hold:  Jack Bickham, Setting.

On to the Wedge Coop. 

Then to Steeple People Thrift Store.  Bought two used golf balls for hand exercises, and an exercise band.

Liberals Like Cats More Than Conservatives Do

A TIME survey found that preferences for pets or particular kinds of food can accurately predict partisanship.

"Loving cats may not make a person a liberal, but it does increase the odds that a person already is one. To see how accurate our survey was, we analyzed the data from 220,192 TIME readers who took the quiz and then volunteered their actual political preferences, and found that all 12 items did in fact predict partisanship correctly."

Theory on origin of animals challenged: Some animals need extremely little oxygen
Date: February 17, 2014
Source: University of Southern Denmark
Summary: One of science's strongest dogmas is that complex life on Earth could only evolve when oxygen levels in the atmosphere rose to close to modern levels. But now studies of a small sea sponge fished out of a Danish fjord shows that complex life does not need high levels of oxygen in order to live and grow.
