I swear that these birds spread panic wherever they go.
It’s hard to look ’em in the eye and not get caught up in it.

"And so it criticized each flower,
This supercilious seed;
Until it woke one summer hour,
And found itself a weed."

Ontario provincial police say a truck "fully loaded with chickens" rolled over on the QEW this morning, blocking three westbound lanes. Early reports suggest not one chicken attempted to cross the road.

I'll be honest, I've been waiting for this change my entire life. I worked hard to get myself out of poverty and I will work even harder to get communities out of poverty. Government dependency will never be the answer for Indigenous people. Look at what it's done to us! https://twitter.com/windspeakernews/status/1559249151560384515
"The police have more important stuff to do than hand out tickets. 'hoods need help controlling reckless drivers & we have a ready-made, proven techno'l sol'n that will...pay for itself. Not every problem...has such a clear solution. This one does. What...are we waiting for?"

"Conservatives put their heads down and get to work. They don’t waste time talking about feelings. They see an issue and seek to solve it. And they are offering solutions that differ from the failed policies of the Liberal government."

After visiting the Galapagos so long ago, I made an effort to emulate the blue-footed booby’s mating dance. The only thing it stimulated Joan to was helpless laughter. Oh, yeah, I got a sore back.

Jim T – That comes perilously close to TMI. As for the specifics of the (failed) dance, I assume you remembered to pick up a small twig in your mouth, show it to Joan, and then casually toss it away. That can make all the difference, or so I hear.
How dare you invade his territory! Great photo.
Judith – Thanks! I swear they have this startled/stupid look all the time, independent of events. An odd way to go through life.
He/she? Reminds me of Big Bird with a bleach job, which might account for the startled look.
Alison – I don’t know the he/she-ness. I think I knew which was which at the time (lead dancer was male, egg sitter was female – I think) but now I don’t remember which booby-ish look went with which booby.
