So here's the deal... The typical American works 9 hours per day (including lunch). He commutes 1.5 hours per day, and sleeps 8 hours per day. Add to that, shopping, cooking, eating, chores, etc., and it all boils down to the typical "Joe Blow" getting roughly 2 to 4 hours to himself per day per work week. Some folks get more, some get less. Consider also the burden of weekend hassles, and the fact is that we only get just a few hours per day for ourselves. The numbers don't lie. And what do we ask for? Maybe you want some thoughtful journalism, or a good baseball game, or a decent TV program, or insightful political rhetoric. And what do we get? (Deep sighs...)

You know, there comes a time when the world just irritates a person. And that is especially true September 19th, 2007.

Let's see... We've got:

• Yet another OJ circus and the hawker "journalists" who sell the cotton candy.
• Juiced jocks.
• Vile TV/Internet/games/radio/magazines aimed directly at the youth of our country. (Just turn on "MTV" or "E!")
• Politicians who want to know what the definition of "is" is. And some other very significant "pols" who don't even believe in evolution.

Well, there you go... Today is just such an "aggravating" day. So "hurray" to the boredom and straightforwardness of birdseed and flowers! Here's to a redwing and a couple of doves, and to an iris...

'Taint much and kind of boring, but it's better than anything else that passes for spare-time entertainment/news/politics these days.

See you by the feeders...
