Compulsory Home for the Mentally Incurable Juvinals

ZZ's step brother, Robbie Little (age 14), has been diagnosed with Schitzophrenia by three doctors. ZZ and I visited him, where he lives a regimented life of continuous threatment and endless observation, on Abbot Loop. There is no road sign on the main road informing otherwise-conserned travellers that such a place exists on the south side of the road. There are no signs on the buildings. This Unidentified Hamlet has been interred in a bubble of secrecy, perhaps embarassment, nestled away at the foot of the Chugach Mountains.

Robbie needed help with his codominant alleles genetics homework. Robbie is a "B" student, so this was a bit of a surprise. At first. Between ZZ and I, we decided that Robbie was right: "His teacher screwed up." The question on the assignment was either worded improperly or was at a level far advanced from the lessons covered (or would be covered, I explored the entire text book). I devised a three-portioned Punnett Square to determine how many red noses, orange noses, and yellow noses there would be if all three types mated together. If I was right, 67% would have orange noses and the red and yellow freaks would each have 16-17%.
