    I think maybe images are causing a problem. I tried and tried and tried to post the one with the different birds, and it wouldn't post until after I removed the American Robin image.

    But then the one with the American Robin image posted on the first try. *shrug*

    This is the Red Crested Robin and to me looks much closer to red than a orange. I think the song was actually about the Red Cardinal and not a robin. Many poeple in those days considered them (cardinals) to be a type of Robin and not a different type of bird.

    had a funny dream about squirrels last night.

    ...see, now they're even invading our dreams. All part of their nefarious plan to have us simply hand the world over to them in our sleep. Don't be surprised to wake up some morning turn, on the telly, and see the White House, The Congress, #10 Downing Street, The House of Parliament, The Kremlin, The Great Hall of the People, etc, etc, etc, all under total control of these malevolent fuzzy tailed rodents.

    Where's the tinfoil? Where's the large stainless steel mixing bowl?

    lol

    iz true

    so much to do, but all i'm thinking of today is squirrel superhero hats :)

    ...maybe 'tis the squirrels who are to blame. Gnawing on the comm wires with their nasty little pointy sharp teeth.

    Disrupt the humans' ability to communicate with each other, invade their dreams, eat from their bird feeders, pelt them with acorns, make them swerve and crash their cars.


    The signs are there, the end times are nigh. The Great Tentasquirrel will arise and none shall escape the grasp of his many writhing appendages.

    Humanity is doomed, doomed I say.

    ...with the way I see a lot of people drive, I'm glad we don't have them yet.

    All I need is a Toyota Divine Wind MKII to come crashing though my roof because the nut at the controls was on their cell phone & drifted out of their airway into the path of an oncoming hover lorry.

    Harry Woods also wrote a song about four leaf clovers. In pop culture Robins are always Robin Redbreast, even if they aren't :)

    It does seem more like the Blade Runner future, doesn't it? Designer drugs, people buried in their electronics...but at least the air isn't as bad. Of course, if they have their way, they'll remove all the ecological protections so they can make more profit, and then it will be.

    Birds eh?

    I was walking to the house and I looked up at the telephony wire that runs over the street by the diriveway and there was one larger, silver-white bird... And a few feet away was a little humming bird. :3

    So cute~

    Fragment of a non-existent bad novel:

    "I should have known it was going to be a lousy day as soon as I saw the dead carp lying on the other pillow, eyeing me with a cold blank stare. Things were not going according to plan; I would have to improvise..."
    That sounds like an average start to a Wooly Loach day ;-).

    There's a cat yelling in my ear.

    Don't listen to it! the squirrels had nothing to do with it! ;-)

    Happy Clowns! ♫♫♫ :)


    no lottery wins. easter candy all gone >:(

    more Access today. needs a trap so they can't open a repair ticket if one iz already open.
    hoping DLookup still good in access 2007.

    remember GoTo? those were the days.

    when i went to BOCES they called COBOL a programming language. all it was for was report writing. didn't know any better at the time. RPG was another report writer.
    C without the ++s, now there was a language, never did get very far with the Boreland C.
    i haven't even seen Visual Basic since Pro6, wonder what it looks like today? does it have the 'ribbons' like Office?

    no one here wants reports any more. they want everything to go to Excel.
