This July finds Your Humble Narrator back in his steamy ancestral stomping grounds of New Orleans, attending to activities relative to the opening of a long-awaited exhibition of work by his late, great father, the highly regarded painter and sculptor, John Clemmer. Over five years in the planning and accompanied by a lovely exhibition catalogue, you can find all the relevant info by following the link over to the News page at johnclemmer.com.   But, monumental and earth shaking though this news is, that is not why I have gathered us all here together on this auspicious occasion. No, Gentle Reader(s), today we are convened for a different matter entirely: The announcement of a singular discovery of High Import in the worlds of Biology, Evolutionary Theory and Batture Studies. I am here today to announce to the world a newly identified species of critter: The Louisiana Batture Dingo. ‘What?’ you say? ‘How is this possible? How can this be??’ Well, I can assure you, Gentle Reader(s), that it be. I shite thee not.
