Deep within us lies a place
not far removed from the primordial ooze that
spawned us. It is a place of terror and loathing
which threatens us with our self-doubts and basic insecurities. It
remains for our pets to bring us some measure of worth. They depend on us, you
see. And when we pet our dog or listen to our cat purring on our collective laps we are liberated.
Go ahead and peek...it will lower your blood pressure and cure your psyche.

| ReefCam | I stumbled upon this site one night at about the time that my mind began to disassemble from massive infusions of serotonin. I had to go back the next day and check it out again.
