The baby robins are looking and sounding more and more like baby starlings every day, and I think it’s too late to drown them in the pond. If it is true, and I have raised three starlings, maybe I can train them. Get them to lead the wild starlings to the cats. Race wild starlings […]
It’s getting worse. I now have three baby robins, most likely between 9 and 16 days old. They’ve got some pin feathers and a little fuzz, but really need to fledge so that I don’t have to keep staring at the skinny old man necks and the golf-ball bodies. The latest one showed up last […]
Okay, time to head out for Montana. I’d rather give up my left nut, but my wife says it’s not an option. Farewell, fine Idaho. Hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow. And hopefully the annoying little birds’ll still be breathing. And maybe somewhat less bald. The birds, not me. Related Images:
I’ve become a new father again. Hopefully the little buggers will fledge quickly and fly off, though, because feeding them every half hour is getting to be a drag. Good deed, my arse; I should’ve left their scrawny mutant baby robin butts on the ground for the cats. They are cute, though, in a potato-bug […]
When feeling too crappy to do anything else, read spam. Had I just deleted as usual, I would have missed this gem (actual url in message removed): “Hi, may i present you freshest hot stuff? 😉 I am ready to kill myself and eat my dog, if medicine prices here (URL to actual crappy site […]
I am an observer, even if I am not all that observant. sure, working remotely and having nobody to interact with in-person has made me a bit more outgoing (or is that just age?), but I still enjoy just lurking and watching people, listening to conversations. My daughter, trying to stop an interruption from her […]
Five more hours until I visit the vampire. I’ve never given platelets before, so this ought to be interesting. Giving blood is bad enough; I spend the entire time vividly imagining the needle snapping off and traveling to my heart. Now I’ve agreed to letting them take it out, then put it back in again. […]
I finally got the riding mower fixed today, so I can spend the weekend mowing and feeling my ass widen. Oh joy. The old blades were pretty impressively tweaked — thanks, kids, I really appreciated the rocks in the yard. Oh, and judging from the vast quantities of mouse poo, I’d say a family of […]
This Thursday is “Take Your Daughters and Sons To Work” day. It used to be “Take Your Daughters To Work” day, but the boys must’ve been too pissed off to stay in school. So now, you get them both. As my kids were both too young when I worked in an office (although I did […]
Woo-hoo! I got a new mower today. That may not be exciting to you young-uns, but as you get older, you learn to find excitement in new things. The thrill of a first kiss, the excitement of finally getting laid, the ecstasy of fine piece of chocolate . . . all are now replaced by […]
