out of contact

My part of the Alibori has been without internet connection for over a month...it makes work only slightly more difficult. Just approved the construction on the new WS house for the incoming PCVL. Sched. my Oral Assessment for the State Dept in the middle of Oct. Does anyone know if a warthog tusk is ivory? Watched the US Vs. Algeria world cup match today. A beninoise was making noise at the ajoining table. I told him the Beninese squirrels weren't playing and he said he was rooting for the 'African' team. I didn't think I had to explain to him that the US team had more players of 'his' african descent compared to the arabic algerian team.

Hi Mike,
According to wikipedia and someone on greenanswers.com "warthog ivory is harvested from the animal's constantly growing upper and lower canine teeth, or tusks. The chemical construction on warthog tusks is the same as that of elephant tusks."
Be well!
