I've maintained bird feeders and fed the deer at my place for 30 years, so we get droves of birds and wildlife. There's a Red Shouldered Hawk pair that nests on the ridge above the creek behind the house every year. They raise quite a ruckus claiming their turf each Spring. The Coopers Hawks...
I'll go as late as I can hang on. I may seek Seattle's feed to catch John Forslund's call...if I can stand all the Kraken nonsense. I'm recovering from kidney stone surgery yesterday (ouch is right), so nobody expects anything out of me until next week. My sleep patterns are way off due to...
My wife's writing looks more like hieroglyphics than English. It's so bad, she sometimes has difficulty reading it herself. Chicken scratch is more legible. Wish I was kidding.
I found out that the best thing about golf is fishing the water hazards...sometimes it takes daring nighttime ninja...
I was just looking at standings (3 games in...I know), but Carolina is tied with Tampa for the most goals given up @14 (!). WTF happened to our D? I read some other takes on a different tread regarding the Canes inability to stop other teams, but it just seems more shocking seeing it in print...

I find him a bit too football-centric. I realize he played QB in college and has a football background. (That was the best they could find?...still beats Ovies though.)
As I was walking for exercise yesterday, I tuned in for a few minutes (until I lost the signal...Piss-poor reception in N...
They have oyster cages hanging from floating docks & platforms in Indonesia, but most of them are for growing pearls. When the cages get damaged, they just toss them out in deeper water. It totally makes the bottom look like an underwater junkyard, but it provides great habitat for all kinds...
I was in a fantasy hockey league for a time. I travel in-season to places where they don't know what hockey is and internet connections can be sketchy at best. I couldn't update nor follow what was happening for weeks at a time of the season. One of the other participants was a retired IBM...
