I have no idea what deconverted my dad, I didn't want to grill him on his deathbed, but I'm glad he died without fear of hell.

My grandfather had a correspondence with Twain but I think it must have ended badly, no one ever found any of the letters, and my grandfather generally didn't throw much away.

But they do like mud (I like them & most all critters actually & dislike the fact that my hubby is a big carnivore).

"Thermal Regulation. Pigs and hogs have very few sweat glands in their bodies. So, unlike humans they are unable to sweat when they get too hot. So to help keep their bodies at a cooler temperature they will roll in mud since the moisture helps keep it cooler for a longer period of time."
