Three Brothers

You have to click on the photo for Hi-Res for this one. Both Cecil, a corporal, and Maurice, a private, were in the 103rd Infanty, 43rd Division. They died within a day of each other. A Google search of the Divisions showed that Cecil and Maurice died taking Georgia Island in the Pacific and Frank, serving in Germany with the 76th infantry died shortly before the end of the war.

Your House Finch Cool Fact O' The DAY®

Eastern populations descend from the 1940 release of illegally caged birds on Long Island, which were probably trapped in the Los Angeles area by pet shop owners from New York. - (Fact stolen by jkirlin, esteemed ornithologist.)

Ok, it's not that sharp but your mother will still yell at you to close it if you try running with it.

Hey Kenny!

Center Console

Kenny is a very fine photographer, Gentle Viewer, and friendly commenter in this blog. He lives in and shows us the great Northwest. His blog is here and these 5 photos of mine are a COMPLETE RIP OFF OF THESE.

I warned him I was going to do it and he foolishly sent me en email of encouragement.

Next time I will save myself the effort and just cut and paste his fine photos over to my blog and name them 'my own' and send around nasty notes of how he copied ME!

Bag Update

A Gentle Viewer wrote and asked about the bag stuck in the tree as I hadn't posted in a while. It's still out there and shows no sign of going anywhere. It was collecting snow during the last storm and I thought maybe THAT would be the end of it but it's still there. This will be harder to monitor, I think, when the leaves come back. But between all my other obligations, and dealing with both the Nobel Commitee and the College of Cardinals (I really can't talk about these right now.), I can keep you updated.

Those stairs better be sanded.

Oh, this is new and overdue. I HATED those 2 hour long whale watching trips!
