    Public Apology No. 2 Talking to Animals.

    It seems like I may owe LMB (and others) an apology for taking the proverbial in so far as the ability to talk to animals (and they talk to you). I've been perusing the web site of/about Zig Ziglar. http://www.ziglar.com And it looks like it is possible to hold converstions with cats. (and...
