I’m on a flight to Salt Lake City enroute #Rootstech as I type this.
There are the obligatory free soft drinks and pretzels (and peanuts! I’m surprised by this because I thought most airlines removed peanuts because of allergies?)
Great service on this Delta flight. Our flight attendant cleaned up the ice cubes we accidently tipped on the floor. Ooops!
A heading caught my eye as I flipped through the SkyMall magazine.
“The Canine Genealogy Kit”.
GENEALOGY???!
Reading on…
“This kit analyses your dog’s DNA and identifies the breeds in its ancestry. A professional laboratory tests a cotton swab that you simply rub against the inside of your dog’s cheek and send to the lab in the provided envelope. The DNA test recognizes 63 different breeds (93%) of the most common beeds in the U.S.) that can make up your pet’s genetic profile. You will receive a certificate listing your dog’s ancestry and a detailed explanation of each breed’s dominant characteristics that have been passed onto your dog. Takes up to three weeks to receive results.
$59.95.”
Genetic genealogy for your dog…what next? Is this another division of 23andme? 😉
But…there is more genealogy in this magazine.
Flipping to page 99 I see this advertisement.
“The #1 Selling Family History Software – Family Tree Maker”
Where am I flying to today?
Oh yeah…Salt Lake City 🙂
