Question for fellow Blackberry users

2009-11-04T22:56:28Z

I heart morons

2009-10-13T21:59:24Z

Seen today on the back of a circa-1980s Ford pickup truck window: a faux Calvin (a la Calvin and Hobbes) peeing on the words "Liberal Ideology." There's so much there that I can't even comment. Thanks for making my day, stoopid.

Stupid effing cats

2009-10-03T21:36:47Z

I have a cat stalking my birdfeeders, damn it. He's a big fat calico who's hanging out underneath my single boxwood, waiting for the chance to pounce on the groundfeeding birds. I need to come up with a way to block him out of his little hidey-ho...

Thought for the day, circa 1948

2009-09-11T21:32:37Z

"But wherever the truth may lie, this much is crystal-clear: our bigger-and-better society is now like a hypochondriac, so obsessed with its own economic health as to have lost the capacity to remain healthy. The whole world is so greedy for more...

The Birdie Diner is now open

2009-09-04T17:34:11Z

Urban birdies are obviously more daring than their country counterparts. My feeders have only been up two days now, and they are hopping! (no pun intended) When I lived in the country, it took the better part of a week for a variety of birds to d...

The first visitors

2009-09-03T13:54:46Z

The chickadees have found the feeders! Yahoo! So far no one appears to be visiting the safflower feeder, the suet feeder or the thistle feeder, but they'll be here, all in due time. I was so tickled this morning to look out and see a round little...

Birdfeeders are back in action!

2009-09-02T16:29:28Z

I am SO excited; I have two birdfeeders up! More are on the way; I just realized that two of my old favorites are too worn to be useful, so I'm going to buy replacements this weekend. I just loaded up on seed this afternoon. Wahoo! I started feed...
