Like my first wife except she never gave the berries back. Then she charged up the credit cards, left them on the dining room table and moved out on our fourth anniversary.
It turned out for the better. She was more whackwing than waxwing.
They perch in birches at the water's edge, better to see the flying insects they chase, capture, and eat. A fun game it is to try to see the potential target before or soon after the bird takes off. It's like watching eagles or hawks hunt on a smaller scale.
If you moored your boat to the tree they're using as base, you should move it to another tree.
As a child I always wondered why they were so elusive having never seen one, and dreamed of seeing one someday and still haven't. Sort of like Wood ducks. except I eventually did see one of those in a shitty setting. (Ark river downtown Wichita)
In film, early on if I see a male lead quietly give food to the female lead at the dining table or help her with food (like breaking crab shells for her even though she doesn't ask) I melt. It's rare though.
These are some of my favorite birbs because beautiful of course, but so gregarious and fun to watch. Also yellow-rumped warblers, which used to be all around my yard in NC.
All those Senators with their twisted knickers who are in a huff about their phone records being tracked in Jack Smith’s “Arctic Frost” investigation, after the Jan. 6 insurrection and Trump’s efforts to steal the 2020 election, may want to refer to their own post-9/11 “Patriot Act” where Section 215 allows for such data collection.
After all, wouldn’t you want to know how far the conspiracy extended into the Government itself?
Robert Plant is someone who I think has lived an incredibly epic life, doing what he does best, along with his mate Jimmy Page. I just relish the life they’ve lived throughout the past 70 years and really there is nothing but a totally revolutionary, cool reputation for being gifted and sexy.
From the Washington post. "The status of the war remained in limbo Monday, and it was far from the first time that the two sides have offered differing versions of reality."
I don't know how to comment on this. Even under the influence of Peyote, there is but one reality.
"President Donald Trump has made America less safe by punching a hole in the nation's ability to defend against a certain kind of attack from Iran, MS NOW's Rachel Maddow warned on Monday, and they're already taking advantage."
Trump figures since he doesn't understand anything about cyber security how could the Iranians possibly know anything about it, let alone make cyber attacks.
I volunteered to help out with the early voting in my county. Have yet to hear anything about where and what days I'll be doing things, so I've emailed them.
Apparently I'm a deputy alternate for the early voting 8/8-15, and an equipment operator on 8/18. Being an alternate means having to get up early, getting ready, and waiting for a phone call.

"Three months after it was unveiled with fanfare in the Oval Office, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's reality TV road trip series still hasn't released a single episode despite millions in donations from the very industries he regulates."
“Pass the berry” sounds dirtier than it is, but it does relate to romance, at least for cedar waxwings, your hed gif birds: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/pass-the-berry

Aaaaahh, the golden birds of happiness. 💛
Thank you! They are some of my favs!

LOL At first I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Beautiful.

Oh. lucky you! Wood ducks are beautifuIly and so precisely painted.
I want to see the bluebird of happiness.
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
May an elephant caress you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
Bwah! Thanks for cheering me up!
If you have a mulberry tree, you'll see them!
Waxwings are exquisite birds. Seeing them in the snow is otherworldly and that's an understatement.
Wow.
They are. I can hear them but they seem to be elusive in seeing and they are flocks of them at that.
Gorgeous creatures
"I passed a berry, she returned a pit..." and now you know!
Suitors plying the object of their affection with fruit makes for a healthy relationship. Go, birdies!

I was all excited that I actually remembered their name :D
Little pep me up for the morning
You’re staving off a declining brain too! https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/birdwatching-slows-ageing
So it's probably too late to start?
🎶 pass the berry ‘pon the left hand side 🎶
Edit to correct the lyric
Handsome wingéd bandits
"Pass the berry" is romantic, whereas "gab 'em by the pussy" is gross and invasive.
The Lout would turn romance into nausea, certainly and quickly...
"I passed a berry, the bastard ate it, gave me the pit and told me to get some more!"
I wonder if he puts money in his pants to attract them.
Thank you berry much -

Entitled! Right there! 🤦♀️🤬

The Jimmy Page soundtrack to Kenneth Anger's Lucifer Rising is really amazing!
One would have to manually synch them, from both of their YouTube availabilities.
If one's fingers are adept.

Donald Trump is the first President who can alter reality with his mind.
That Alison Krauss-Robert Plant album is very good.

"A certain kind of attack"? Don't be a tease, Raw Story.
Strong language? Stern disapproval?
IIRC, Trump slashed US cybersecurity because they kept saying Russia was up to no good and Trump didn't like hearing it.
So if we don't have anyone looking at it, it isn't happening.
And covid disappears if you don't count the cases. What a Subpar, I mean, super genius.
Trump figures since he doesn't understand anything about cyber security how could the Iranians possibly know anything about it, let alone make cyber attacks.
So, I guess there is no stopping him, thanks Roberts, fucking ...
I volunteered to help out with the early voting in my county. Have yet to hear anything about where and what days I'll be doing things, so I've emailed them.
I got my letter to report on 8/25 for the runoffs. That will decide who will be the next gov of OK.
Apparently I'm a deputy alternate for the early voting 8/8-15, and an equipment operator on 8/18. Being an alternate means having to get up early, getting ready, and waiting for a phone call.
For eight straight days, yay.
Thank you for your service
“I’m his little pomeranian ass-sniffer — was his little pomeranian ass-sniffer, and now I’m the deputy attorney general”.
Have to keep the record straight on that.
I love that song. Please read the letter.

To quote Dr. Fauci, "What a moron!"
And you, Rand, spineless clown masquerading as Senator, agree with that gobbledygook?
How many casualties are there in a "significant"?
Jesus fucking christ, and he believed it I bet.

Gas is 5 bucks a gallon, this balloon head wasn't going anywhere.
I'm shocked, shocked.
"Darn... left the Camcorder at home..."
I would say it vanished because Duffy, stupid as he is, realized it was an ethical nightmare.
As if that would stop any Republican.
well, the important part is done.
Mission Accomplished!
Chucky saw nothing wrong with his efforts to ingratiate himself into the lives of his employees. Chuck is creepy.
the deed is done, for the primary at least..

America thanks you.
The Republican murder spree continues unchecked.

But Fauci is the real killer, right??
My best friend lives in Texas and has it. Explosive diarrhea every couple of days for a week now.
