msnbc.com:Abandoned bird becomes mans best friend

Posted on August 11, 2009
How many people would take the time and the effort to do this for an abandoned baby bird? I hope “Jay” continues to return periodically and re-affirm his friendship with the people who saved his life. He’a a wild bird, and did they their best to enable him to live a “normal”, wild life, but [...

Engineer?s guide to Cats II

Posted on July 24, 2009
A new episode of “The Engineer’s Guide To Cats.” This one has cats and humans engaging in strange activities, including the infamous “Cat Polka” and “Cat Yodeling.” These fine young men must have a truly special relationship with their kitties, because I Simply Cannot Imagine my felines putting up with most of [...

Wild Turkeys

Posted on July 24, 2009
This fine family invited themselves down to do lunch in my backyard. I counted 2 mature hens, a young tom, and at least a half-dozen chicks.  My video skills are decidedly mediocre, but I thought this was acceptable for a first attempt.  Incidentally, The Boy is quite proud that I’m keeping up with  21st century [...

Bleacher Bum Blues

Posted on June 27, 2009
Long, long ago, more years than I care to count anymore, I was one of the youngest members of the original Chicago Cubs Bleacher Bums.  For three years, I went to nearly every home game during summer vacation, and caught as many games as I could in April and May,  August and September...

Business as an Importer?

Posted on June 18, 2009
I just realized recently that due to the Internet,  my fledgling jewelry business has an international component to it.  In the past year,  I have directly purchased: Silver from Thailand and Indonesia “Turquoise”, freshwater pearls, and jasper from China Dichroic glass from Mexico  Jade from a wholesaler in Great Britain Indirectly, as well, I have the following: African and Peruvian opals Bone beads from [...

This was expected

Posted on June 07, 2009
The moon is full today, and I am flat on my back, after the past 2 days day tripping back and forth from the north.  My eyes feel like the drive was through the Sahara, and my legs, though not acutely painful, feel as though someone attached leaden weights to them...

Artistic Credibility

Posted on June 06, 2009
The last time I went to the Grace Chosy Gallery in Madison, WI, they agreed to show eight pieces of my handmade jewelry, out of the collection of about two dozen I brought up for them to look at.  That was last September, 2008.  Then I promptly forgot about them, in the rush of other [...

An Episode Of Mystery Diagnosis?

Posted on June 06, 2009
I’m rather a fan of the digital cable Discovery Health Channel late-night rundown.  They do such charming reality  shows as “Life in the ER”, “Medical Incredible”, “Mystery Diagnosis”, and their latest, “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant!”...

Reversing the Black Cat Curse?

Posted on April 22, 2009
I have, unfortunately, been a Chicago Cubs fan for most of my life.  It’s a tragic character flaw that I cannot seem to overcome.  Every year, I watch, with the same fascinated horror, hoping beyond hope that this might be “The Year”, but knowing, where it counts that my boys will inevitably find some way [...

The Daily Bird 17: American White Pelican?

Posted on April 21, 2009
This Bad Bird is WAY lost! Actually, there are at least three, if not four, of them hanging out here, behind the town hall, between the power plant and the railroad crossing, in my small town here in the upper midwest.  Yes, dear readers, this is an American White Pelican...

Squirrel Hunting

Posted on March 12, 2009
By the way, all of you sweet people who have been visiting my blog because of the weird “Squirrel LOL’s” I’ve posted at various places - glad to be of service, and I hope you went on to read something else.  I wish I could claim credit for creating those, but they’re my own appropriation [...

?Educational TV?

Posted on March 12, 2009
We don’t have typical Television viewing habits in this household.  We’ve never watched “American Idol,” notwithstanding the protests of The Boy that “everyone was watching it!”  Prime time sitcoms leave us flat.  We do watch “House” and still enjoy it after four seasons, but that’s about the only network show we can lay claim to...

The Boy and his Memory

Posted on February 07, 2009
Sometimes my son is phenomenal.  Here is an example. Last March, with his saved birthday and the remainder of his Christmas money, he went to Target with me, and purchased one of those music/video/picture viewers so ubiquitous these days - not an I-pod, but the Microsoft competitor, Zune...

RatSpeak

Posted on February 06, 2009
 The headline on this article caught my eye.  It’s a bit misleading.  The inflatable rat doesn’t speak; it IS a form of speech.  A rather graphic and effective form of speech in the context in which it was used.  Ugly little sucker, though, ain’t he? Court: Giant inflatable rat has free speech rights N...

The latest in avian fashion?

Now, just doesn’t this beat all?  Diapers for your dirty birdie!  Fly free without fear of falling guano.  Who thinks up these things?  That’s what I want to know. Pictures of the day: 4 February 2009 Bird lovers can now let their pets fly around the house without worrying about little parcels of poo falling from the sky, [...

?Just some bird??

Posted on January 12, 2009
    A fully mature bald eagle has a wingspan that can extend some 6 to 8 feet across.  Big Bird.  Really Big Bird.  One went soaring by no more than 30 feet over my head this weekend past, as the Boy and I were on our way to the store.  I slowed down and frankly gawped...

Minus the wool

Posted on January 11, 2009
The phrase “shepherd’s pie” should conjure up the image of a particular sort of dish.  A dish with particular sorts of ingredients.  Like, maybe - sheep?  After all, what does a shepherd do?  Herds sheep, of course.  What kind of meat is a shepherd likely to have?  Lamb...

A comment on seeking employment

Posted on November 10, 2008
One would think it basic courtesy that if you receive an application for a job opening you, as an employer, have posted, you should acknowledge that receipt, or at least to send a “thank you but we’ve filled the position” letter so the applicant knows that their resumes are not just disappearing into a void...

History, future, past and present - a musing

Posted on November 09, 2008
I grew up in Chicago during the 60’s and 70’s mostly.  I can still remember clearly what things were like back then.  The Chicago I grew up in was one of the most segregated cities in the North.  I was born to a professional family, living on the south side of the city, in Englewood...

The Wounded Dragon

Posted on October 10, 2008
A bunch of friends and I got together for a small local Renaissance Fairethis weekend.  It’s an annual event, both the Faire, and my friends crashing at our house for it.  One of my best college friends, Karen, usually plays Her Majesty, Queen Bess, and this year her fiance, William, appeared at her side as [...

More of the elusive tufted titmouse

Posted on October 07, 2008
Caught the little sweetheart actually posing for me this time.  He’s pretty adorable, for a featherhead.                                                   Since putting out the feeders again, there’s been a regular SCB convention going on out in the backwoods and hedges...

Finally Caught - the Tufted Titmouse!

Posted on October 03, 2008
These are not the best of pictures, but I’ve been stalking these shy little birds since last winter, and they have been elusive as the Loch Ness Monster.  Now I finally caught them. This pair of tufted titmouses (titmice?) was lured in to the newly-hung and stocked feeder by my buddythe black capped chickadee...
