Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

What is even happening?

Thank you. He's not in a big rush. He's thinking ahead (which I appreciate) because he knows he's going to want to see the GF, but since her roommate is also a nurse, it's something of a risk for C.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I love being married to an actuary.

Herding cats for fun

This must be a magical time for me to see unusual creatures visiting my yard. Last week it was the husky with beautiful blue eyes. Today it was a little white bunny rabbit sitting on the front lawn. I have never seen rabbits here! It hopped off to the neighbors yard and disappeared. Too cool!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Did I mention goslings? First, because I love the word, and also because Canada geese get to be (however briefly) adorably cute.

I have SO MANY CROWS all of a sudden. They have always been around, but all of a sudden they're in my yard, on my roof, in my tree. I think they're awesome, but man, do they get LOUD when they all talk at once!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oooh, I love crows. I don't really miss my commute but I do miss seeing the crows and ravens that hang out by the train station.

My yard has been full of starlings lately, and one cardinal pair that seem to be in a fight (they used to feed together but lately he's been hanging out in our front yard while I only ever see her in back).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Maybe they are dividing their forces to keep Other Birds away more effectively?

I was hearing more birdsong than usual for a while but either I've gotten used to it or my bird population is quieter. I guess the migrants have pretty much passed through(I'm in the Pacific Flyway, the migrating population can be significant!) so it may be a matter of just my year-round population being here now.I definitely hear them all more than I see them.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We have crows in our neighbourhood. My favourite residents though are the kookaburra pair that moved in sometime while we were visiting America.
