A special message from the Department of Troll Control, come and get it!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans and ban certain undesirables from using our airlines. They demand the right to criticize and blaspheeme the name of our supreme commander and cheef George W Bush while forcing multiculturalism down our throats and praising Bill Clinton. We all know however that it's totally Clintons fult for everything bad in america. Now we are at war and we must make a decision. support the safty of America and defeat terrorists, or support civil liberties and give victory to the enemy. Its all because of Bill Clinton and civil liberties that we are in this war so it is only fair that we give it up. no one said life was supposed to be fair you liberal crybabys. Dont give me that rubbish about equality and diversity. WE ARE AT WAR! If your not for Bush and against civil liberties your a terrorist! Your probably even a Communist and should be detained. Therefore fellow Americans we must throw all of our trust and resources behind George W Bush and behind this war with no ifs ands or buts. Be sure to report any and all detractors and freedom supporters to your local military and never question. Bush knows what hes doing and we will win this war once and for all. Thank you and May God bless America.

I have no clue! I'm not a person who likes to repeat myself, and I don't like to give the impression that I'm over-eager.

I suspect the Double Post must be a tweak in the machine...perhaps not a very happy tweak...:o|

except the cardinal!! Want some? By the time anyone in the government figures it out, they'll be well established! And they aren't intimidated by people who try to mess with 'em, neither.

NOT!
I saw lots of birds in Europe that were "familiar" but with the exception of the robin, there were very few that I could name, either by looks or by song.

When Igor and I were campground hosts for the National Forest system, we learned a lot about birds, because, inevitably, someone would ask about birds so they could notify their clubs of the arrival of _______ birds in the migratory path.

They are a fascinating study, I agree. I remember when I was a kid, my grandmother gave me a book of bird stamps. I recall the ones dealing with the Dipper and Purple Martens.

My sister and I grew up with a gal I'm still in contact with today, and we spent a lot of summers driving all around the county, looking for birds. My dad had given me a pair of binoculars for my birthday, and he gave my sister an Audobon Guide.

That was the beginning. While I don't do much of it now, I wish I still had the book, so I could find the birds. There was another book, as well, when we were in the Nat'l Forests...Can't recall the name of it, or I'd be down to Bookman's...

Hopefully, the next one sionnsar hijacks for us will have only a few keywords.
Hey! He only has another day!
(Welcome back, sion!)

Thanks, 'Face! As of this moment, the next one has somewhat fewer keywords than this. I am tired of watching them load over slow dialup...

And yes, the next one is selected, and final calibration of the targeting is underway. I anticipate completing it tomorrow evening, after our church's Shrove Tuesday pancake supper.

OTOH, the way I am feeling tonight says I might have to do it early, *before* the supper -- or wait until morning of the 1st, because I am fading fast from the jet lag. Right now my body clock is somewhere over the Atlantic... it feels like it's way past bedtime.
