Apparently the LATimes has no proofreaders. Amazing that Solnit is a writer.

Jackie, the story may have been posted online before it went to the print copy desk for editing. Being a writer doesn't mean you don't make typos!-- sheila

Uhmmm. I believe those are baby hedgehogs, not porcupines. Cute little things, aren't they!

LOL -- I'm a city kid, the only babies I see are skunks. Thanks, Nancy! -- sheila

Thanks for the link to the Solnit piece. It made me bristle when I realized how many times I've had some self-important man shove his patronizing "wisdom" down my throat. All that's been missing is the amused pat on the head.
