Long Dreaded Comeupance
Pray for me, dear readers. Today, every single vain promise I have made in my entire life has come due at once. The wolves, snarling and hungry, are circling outside my house.
The article below should make it all clear. This is a real story, not a fake. I repeat, not a fake. Please believe me. Oh, God, I suddenly understand what that "Boy Who Cried Wolf" story was all about.
I'm afraid, very afraid. You would be too. :

Breeding Stock Flown to Chile
It was a case of pigs in space at Regina International Airport on Friday.
More than 300 head of swine were loaded onto a plane bound for Chile where they will be used for breeding stock, said Doug Aikens, with PIC operations in Kipling. The animals travel to Chile via Miami.
Airport officials said they expect another load of swine breeding stock will be shipped to Santiago through the company TOPIGS next month.
Norm Cowan, manager at Dryden Air Service, the business that boarded the Saskatchewan pigs, said it's not the kind of cargo they see in a normal day's work, but they expect to see a few more such loads than usual this year.
