And I don’t believe that I am feral. That would imply that I had been domesticated in the first place and I don’t believe that has yet to occur.

Tomorrow I will get up and try to spell “Potato”. Maybe Will Ferrell can help me.

Thanks for correcting my error. I mistakenly referred to the metal caps that are used to join to parts of a fishing rod.

By the way, are you feral?

Along with smaller boats, they often train and race in Argo Pond. Retaining the aility of crew teams to row in Argo was among the reasons that Argo Dam was repaired, not removed.

“Ferrel” is a two-bit word for “Wild”, often used in the context of something formerly domesticated (like a cat, or a garden) reverting to a wild state, often through neglect.
