eBirdseed.com Wild Bird Feeding Blog

Meant to make this entry silly fun from start to finish, but that just ain't gonna happen.

Check out the shots the NovaBird remote camera snagged of one of the local flickers. You can see the full-blown image here (well worth viewing).

On to the silly funny... Too bad I'm not in the "silly funny" mood. Yeah folks, it's been one of those "Last Couple of Days". Thankfully, my studies in boat building have thoroughly trained me for this. I refer of course to "The Moaning Chair". What's that? You don't know about the moaning chair? You don't know about the moaning chair? You heathen! Alright, alright, I'll explain... A moaning chair (recommended by boat builder and author Dynamite Payson amongst others) is the appropriate repository for you when all things have turned sour and the universe has just given you the Bronx cheer. That's the chair into which you plop after discovering wild personal blunders and cruel acts of fate such as completely botching the last decade's worth of tax returns, accidentally throwing out your pristine Mickey Mantle rookie card, or worst of all constructing two port (left-hand) sides of a boat. It is the place to be when the alternative is destroying the garage with an old butter knife and eating the splinters... Let's see... Today my moaning chair resonates with the following...

• Having "Writers Block" ain't funny - especially when there's other work to do
• Being pestered by an intellectually-challenged cat just rots
• Eating microwave Chef Boyardee spaghetti & meatballs from a microwave cup... Say no more
• Politicians, politicians, politicians
• Our national economy has more warts than an ugly toad contest
• I'm 50 years old and can no longer jump tall buildings in a single bound... At least not every day
• I'm not building a boat... Grrr!
• Flickers and red-bellies look too much alike
• The Amazon Kindle is still back-ordered 6 weeks and they still aren't listing this blog... Double grrr!!!

I'll be grumbling in the chair over by the feeders. (Where'd I put that stupid butter knife?)
