Yeah, that makes sense.
Unrelatedly, in my office of like 50 people, we have three preggos! Doesn't that seem like a lot? Although not really given how many of us are women in our childbearing years....
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ann, that's a ferret.
More than normal, but I've seen more. Once, I was in an office of about 20 people with three pregnant women and one expectant father.

This is what everyone is saying on facebook. (Also hilarious: All of my coworkers posting on facebook throughout the day.) Actually, we have two in this office of ~25, and one at the other main location.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Liese, do you have the second feeder out of sight of the first?
Yeah, I do. One is on the window of the sunroom, south-facing. The other is at the corner of the dog's kennel, northwest corner, visible from my office window. What this has achieved is making my whole house a battle zone. We keep getting strafed by them as we come out the front door. The SO wants to add one to the north-facing porch, which would make their hummingbird overlord plan complete.
And yeah, msbelle, definitely making the preparations now is a good idea.

I'm re-doing my syllabus for work. Instead of the usual grade offerings, I contemplated these grades instead: Epic Win, Win, Meh, Fail, Epic Fail.
Good plan?

They just had Tania Aebi on NPR! I read her book (Maiden Voyage) about her teenage solo sail years ago, makes these kids doing solo sails these days wimps. She had no gps, no internet, sailing by sextant.
I think of hummingbirds as fierce fighters. I think >1 hummingbird falls under the definition of war.
