A Lot of Blood

An adult man's body contains - on average - 1.25 to 1.5 gallons of blood. People who live at high altitudes, where the air contains less oxygen, may have up to 1.9 liters more blood than people who live in low altitude regions. The extra blood delivers additional oxygen to body cells.

Blood doesn't have it's own keyword/label in this blog, but maybe it should.

You wear many hats, and you take a flexible approach to life. Very few people know what you are capable of.

Are You Book Smart or Street Smart?

I wasn't familiar with this word which surprised me because I love cats.  I'm not familiar with old female cats, either, because while I've had female cats hang around - and have a litter or two - they disappear after a while.  I always hope they found good homes. 

I AM familiar with ill-tempered old women, although I'd have to say ill-tempered old men are worse.

I should know.
