Birding

Yesterday was cranky chickadee day (and Canada Day, Oh Canada). I have never seen chickadees fight before, but they do.

Cats!

The house sparrows were having a spat at the feeder (and the yard, and the neighbor's driveway, etc.) so I had a title fun, stuck my head out and said boo. A cat suddenly ran out from underneath a table. I felt bad. I ruined ita bird watching. I have seen the cat around her before. I assume it comes...

Trump got 4 of the 7 letters right. That's 57% which is a grade of F but it is almost a low D.

The private school is a Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) school. WELS makes the Missouri Synod look like flaming liberals.

This is not surprising for them.

Oh, I understand how Turnip could confuse the name.

As they are equally stupid, they are easy to confuse.

Granted, it makes more sense for me to confuse the two since neither was my physician in the White House.
