	Journey North Hummingbirds
		We had never seen such a wonderful, clear, close-up peek into a hummer nest, and we are wildly indebted and grateful to Dorothy for her kind and generous offer to share her hummingbird nest photos with Journey North students.
		Dorothy's sister came to her yard every day to check on the babies, help her get the ladder out, and hold the branch down so she could get those prize-winning photos!
		Dorothy is retired from her job as a Pharmacy Technician, and she spends a lot of time in her flower garden.

	CONDITIONAL ASSERTION THEORIES OF CONDITIONALS
		Edgington holds that a conditional belief is (roughly) the believer’s corresponding subjective conditional probability.
		Edgington’s account of conditional belief is not itself analogous to a conditional-assertion theory of conditional sentences, for it does not say that if the antecedent is false, nothing is believed.
		Moreover, Edgington offers a new argument in favor of the conditional-assertion view—roughly, that (a) the treatment of assertions of indicative conditionals should parallel that of conditional imperative and conditional interrogative speech acts, but (b) no standard truth-conditional account of the latter is adequate.

	Are God#x2019;s Hands Tied By Logic?
		It was not until Dorothy Edgington awakened me from dogmatic slumberings [30] that it ever occurred to me to wonder whether contradictions might, in fact, be meaningful.
		I soon concluded that my intuitions as a speaker of English tell me that they are, and the role that they play in formal logic supports those intuitions.
		My thanks also to Robert Forsythe, Michael Patzia, Amber Stancliffe and Dorothy Edgington, for helpful conversations on these matters.

		I haven’t read it all, but I guess I’ll have to when I ever get back to writing the vagueness book.
		Reading Dorothy Edgington’s paper made me realise that her position is a little closer to mine than I’d previously acknowledged.
		She says that there are numerical degrees of belief, but they ‘compose’ in the way that probability values do.
