The most overlooked and yet the rarest antique in my home is the sugar chest in the dining room. It doesn't have any lavish carving, or fancy painting; it is very simple.

This is a full time job that is very physical because you are on the front lines managing, marketing and sometimes even washing dishes. You can't be an innkeeper and just manage. You have to do it.
assume bites individual placed point runs treatment virus wild
The point is to keep your distance. Rabies virus is serious. If a raccoon bites and runs off, we have to assume it is wild and the individual is placed in a treatment that may not have been necessary.
