    What a change in life
    Froom abandoned humanity
    To abandoned lands
    High in the mountains
    A new life, new outlook,
    Uplifting alpacas
    Fleecy family
    Bearing one children,
    Both livestock and love
    Always learning more.
    Trying not to learn too late.
    Thankfully, not alone here
    Home in the Gredos.

    We in Texas envy your rain.. We are in a drought. I grew up in
    western Wisconsin. I'm curious: where was your Midwestern home?
    We may have a lot in common.

    Here is another book you might look for:
    Medicine and Surgery of South American Camelids
    Murray F. Fowler
    2nd Edition
    Iowa State University Press 1989
    FedEx ships internationally if you can't find these on the Internet.

    I once had a good friend (better than I knew) who was
    from Cleveland: Joyce Bencina, Slovenian.
    Problem children (crias) 10-15-24
    Camera kissers,
    Beautiful eyes, soft muzzles:
    Problem kids, we fear.
    We would kiss and pet.
    We are crazy about them.
    Will they grow up crazy?
    We sure hope not!
    BMS, ABS
    Are a real threat.
    Cuteness overload.

      Ha! A forever friend of mine from Cleveland is Slovenian... Eastern Europeans landed in Cleveland.

    I got my PhD from Indiana University. I did all my research
    and class work in Indianapolis at the medical school,
    then rode the bus to Bloomington to complete my degree.
    Was that your alma mater too? My degree was in Biochemistry,
    specifically Neurochemistry. What are you?

      Okay, I began my studies at Ohio Wesleyan in weather science, but I discovered punk rock and joined the college radio station. After year one, I transferred to U of Evansville in Indiana to study media / communications (but really, I spent all my time at the college radio station). I drove to Bloomington to see R.E.M. play on their first tour. I promoted a few Bloomington bands... After a few years behind the scenes and as a DJ on the radio, I realized there was little to no magic -- music was treated as a product to sell, so I left the radio world. After another couple of years of pondering about a job that suited my morals, I studied literature, poetry, creative writing, and secondary ed at Cleveland State.
