The Bad Driver Gene

After failing my driver's license twice, I'm beginning to wonder if my problem resides more on the subconscious and/or something concerning what is beyond my control. I.e, genetics.

baby owls!

LOL I didn't expect that at all!

He said he didn't want to domesticate (I think domestication might not be that easy. They will start creating havoc once they're adolescents) them but I wonder what happens if a man lives among the foxes. Will he be accepted? Hmm..
