Speaking of sparrows....when I was a kid, sparrows were everywhere and I only rarely saw goldfinches but now the sparrows seem outnumbered by the goldfinches. Maybe somebody IS stuffing their pie hole with sparrows shocked .


Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

A couple hours ago, my dad took this picture (excuse the quality) of a swan swimming on the lake by their dock (Chemong Lake). It's the first time we've ever seen one at the house. I did some research and I postulate that it's a Mute Swan . My dad said it was absolutely gorgeous.




The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

I used to love Swans until the day I saw two of them rampage killing ducklings. It was horrible.

That's no swan. That's the gubbmint trying to pull one over on you! It's the Chemong Lake monster. Look at the evidence!

It was later on in the afternoon, and my dad does enjoy his beer, so only he will know that answer. It's definitely not improbable though, Dan smile.

I already swam the entire lake thoroughly last year, and you bring this up again?! I guess I'm donning my scuba diving gear next week, just for you, Ken!

That will be it though!

My Goldfinches came back yesterday and this morning I had a Snow Bunting sitting on the ground under the feeder. First time for that little guy. Very cute.

Those are OURS! They were just slumming a coupla miles from home.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

"slumming" = eating seeds drenched in bacon fat

Slumming would be "seeds drenched in Miracle Whip", eaten in front of the TV.
