Subject: The Vicuna Coat From: jespah@milton.u.washington.edu (Kathleen Hunt) Date: 1990-11-14, 21:36 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks From: carey@m.cs.uiuc.edu (John Carey) *The vicuna might point to Bob Lydecker, who apparently keeps llamas. *(another episode I missed) *A vicuna is just a small llama, so he might have one of those too. I too have been thinking Lydecker might be involved. The problem is that vicunas are not just small llamas -- they are a wild species that looks quite different from a llama. They have never successfully been domesticated. To make matters worse, llama hair and vicuna hair are quite different. I've been hoping the lab made a mistake, and that Lydecker's llama patient is in fact the source of the "vicuna coat", but the more I think about it the more unconvinced I am. Kathleen
