Red wing blackbirds – I dislike them alot

Sort of in response to Zombies are Magic – when we first moved to Wisconsin I thought the red winged blackbird was very pretty. What interesting coloring!

However after having been attacked by them multiple times around town, for no other reason than my sheer being, I’ve often thought to myself ‘I don’t really like these birds.’

Having seen signs at the local gardens about how they are federally protected I couldn’t believe it. Another conspiracy to let birds roam wild in the highly cultivated gardens. Mind I generally think of myself as a nature lover and general Taoist and such but I don’t really like these birds…

Too bad they are federally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Intentionally harming a red wing exposes one to a $250,000 fine and two years’ imprisonment on a felony conviction. Whoa!!! These bird are jerks!

Texas

So I went to Texas this week and I must say I’ve not been anywhere recently where all there was to eat was meat. Pretty cool really. You go to the BBQ Pit (at the airport mind you, or not) and the menu includes meal options such as:

1 Meat
2 Meats
3 Meats
Half Chicken

I might have to open me a franchise! Really, good stuff, may not fly up north though. Too bad.

I hear the BBQ pits outside the airport are even better.

I am angry gorilla, I heard you needed me.

I must say – sometimes the news is just too serious. And the hacks they get to interview about a topic. Really, lighten up.

Transformative pictorial meaninglessness

If 2 hikers and a horse go one way do they come back as 1 hiker and 1 horse? Will you find a companion if you go the opposite direction? And which arrow to follow to ensure the correct outcome?

Pictures from the Intergalactic HQ

Yes, that’s what they call it. Can’t name names since they use Google alerts to search for mention of it and don’t want to stir the waters posting pictures of the scenery around the HQ. 🙂
