In regard to all this bickering, I think we are suffering from
"post (bird) breeding depression syndrome." The summer
solstice is past, days are getting shorter, we are into
autumn, wet-siders are getting wetter and drysiders are
getting dryer and we are already getting christmas catalogs.
Humph.

Solution.....
1---STOP reading and or watching the news but once a week. It
has been proven that it has a very negative affect on us.

2 --go find a bird.....any bird and just sit down and marvel
at the beauty and intricacies of it.

Today I watched a ....dare I say....House Sparrow dispose of a
very large grasshopper. Opps...I hope there are not any
grasshopper lovers out there lurking. ;-)

Anyway it beat that hopper to pieces (literately) it reminded
me of a kingfisher thrashin' a minnow.

Okey--everybody kiss and make up. Ooookaay.....smack...patuee.
