So I went to sleep early and woke up again...
Then I did the last thing you are supposed to do when you wake up at night, turned on the tube. Watched 'Dirty Jobs' which involved the guys going to the Oasis Camel Farm someplace in California. These people take good care of their critters. It was fascinating to watch them. I always felt camels get an unjustifiably bad press. Yes they are large, they will kick if mis-handled, but they contributed greatly to civilization by helping transport goods and people over distances, and in climates not so great for horses. One interesting factoid I learned is that raw camel;s milk is supposed to be very good for people with lactose intolerance, that in fact this huge critter produces milk which is very similar in composition to human milk. Funny it would be better for people than milk from cows which are smaller.
