    Crows will wait patiently for the eggs to be ready and then they will demolish them. Same thing happens in our yard about every year. Last year they obliterated a duck nest. Just calmy waited till the duck left the nest, and busted open one or two new eggs each time till all were gone... They...

    Raise your hand if you've taken a picture of a plastic owl thinking it is a real one? (boot's hand goes up and when no one else's hand goes up he hangs head in shame and lowers hand)

    Stroke update April 25th

    Jerry- sorry to hear about your family member. Sometimes the noise and busyness is hard to filter for anyone. Sounds like you got a plan and a step back and chill workaround. Being an introvert has its advantages too, you don't have to listen to everyone, particularly when the listening isn't...

    Local morning with the cows and snakes....

    During that absolute furnace heat wave like 9-10 years ago we drove down I5 from SEA to Portland. The cows on some of those islands- maybe Martin Island?- (your photos look like maybe some islands in the Columbia)- were just chillin' in water well over half-way up their ribs. Below them, you...

    I had a coffee out on the stoop on the weekend. This guy was pissed, kept chirping and buzzing. Bird really wanted a drink and I was in their territory....Love when they flare up the head colors

    A River Runs Through It: 50-year anniversary (NY Times Musing)

    That and the piece doesn't mention Hemingway... Or for that matter Grays Sporting Journal that has forever published outstanding outdoor fiction for hunting and fishing. What's interesting about the piece is the argument of "could ARRTI be published or successful today?" And I think a...

    Love Eddy. Just warms my heart hearing the looped-up motorcycle effect. That whole Jamaican/Barbados/London selector scene was awesome Out in the street Out in the playground In the dark side of town back in the day roomates and I hosted an Eddy Grant Tribute night kegger with huge...

    Rain

    If your data on drought was heavily influenced by reading Cliff Mass, he seems particularly interested in reservoir levels, which are obviously heavily influenced by anticipation of drought by reservoir managers. Ie the arguments he has about plenty of water are often circular and bizarre. They...

    Sage still has that lifetime warranty? The other thing you can use a 7 wt for is getting a wiffle ball out of a tree. It's a little like using a Ferrari to carry a queen sized mattress home from mattress warehouse, hands holding it down on account of the twine not being far enough apart and the...

    Dad tip: Kite flying is best done on an 8 foot spin rod, the gearing of the retrieve is just about perfect and on a strong variable wind day the control you get is phenomenal. Make sure you use a good high quality swivel. Fly rod gearing at 1:1 is not nearly as fun on the retrieve. Kids have...
