I've been looking for the notice that it's open for registration. This really increases my interest in the season, so I hope it is still going to be done.

This shows how stupid Trump is. He is supposed to release them all just before he leaves office, not before an election. That is what previous presidents did. /s

After that the city must have had a "whale of a wash!"

Considering all the work you put into this point, it is unfortunate that you ran off the tracks. Using your logic, 175,000 people died from Covid over roughly a 6 month period this year. A quick search says over the last 3 years, roughly 40,000 Americans died in car accidents per year. Well that's over a year, so we will say for a half year that is 20,000. So following your logic, over 8 times more people died of Covid than died from Car accidents, for a given amount of time. You can't throw the entire population of the US into a statistic and then compare that to other random statistics. Although in March lots of politicians of both persuasions were doing that to make themselves sound/look good.

Here is the story I heard Still's give in an interview. Written by Buffalo Springfield guitarist Stephen Stills, this song was not about anti-war gatherings, but rather youth gatherings protesting anti-loitering laws, and the closing of the West Hollywood nightclub Pandora's Box. Stills was not there when they closed the club, but had heard about it from his bandmates. In the book Neil Young: Long May You Run: The Illustrated History, Stephen Stills tells the story of this song's origin: "I had had something kicking around in my head. I wanted to write something about the kids that were on the line over in Southeast Asia that didn't have anything to do with the device of this mission, which was unraveling before our eyes. Then we came down to Sunset from my place on Topanga with a guy - I can't remember his name - and there's a funeral for a bar, one of the favorite spots for high school and UCLA kids to go and dance and listen to music. [Officials] decided to call out the official riot police because there's three thousand kids sort of standing out in the street; there's no looting, there's no nothing. It's everybody having a hang to close this bar. A whole company of black and white LAPD in full Macedonian battle array in shields and helmets and all that, and they're lined up across the street, and I just went 'Whoa! Why are they doing this?' There was no reason for it. I went back to Topanga, and that other song turned into 'For What It's Worth,' and it took as long to write as it took me to settle on the changes and write the lyrics down. It all came as a piece, and it took about fifteen minutes."

For some reason the longer I look at this, the funnier it gets.?

What did you use for the pic and how close were you? The Grackles in my area are much darker and have an iridescent blue on them. Very nice pic.

He would have been a real "dick head" then.

Last Tuesday, 7/28, 20/20 ran a story "American Catastrophe: How we got here." I thought I would learn something watching it and even DVR'ed it. It can be seen on Youtube in parts. Here is the link to part 1. I think there are 3 or 4 parts. I did learn something watching it, unfortunately I will have to watch it again to remember what it was. It is a great piece of unbiased reporting! /s

Get Sunflower hearts, de-shelled Sunflower seeds. Once the birds find that they come back. If your feeder is on a patio or porch, you don't have to clean up all the black shells. I have yard feeders and a window feeder. The window feeder only gets hearts but the the yard feeders get both types. If the yard feeders run out of hearts some of the larger birds come to the window. A blue jay will come and he is as big as the feeder. All he can do is grab the edge and hang, but he likes to come and pig out. Also, there are not many birds that come and stay if there is someone in the kitchen. I have seen them flying in and turn away if your within 5 feet of the window.

You being a Bills fan makes it hard for me to understand the rating system you are using.?

It's always interesting on what triggers a memory. I just remembered Tom would read notes from viewers on what the definition of a "Split Second" was. The one that comes to mind was "the time between the light turning green and the guy behind you beeping the horn." It also happens to be the only one I remember.

Damn slip knots!

Do the birds love these caterpillars? I would assume the trees would have lots of birds looking for an easy meal.

Thanks for the link. I did think they were still covered by their old plan.

I haven't had any tomatoes but the squirrels have had several. The seem to like green tomatoes even if they aren't fried.?️

Ah, the "Affordable Health Care Act." The politicians who passed it should have been forced to use it.

In early 1970 I came across this album at Twin Fair. The name of the album is "Then Played On." I thought I would give it a shot and it turned out to be not only one of my all time top 10 albums but my introduction to Peter Green. This led to back tracking to get earlier Fleetwood Mac albums. The more Peter Green I heard the more I loved him. He will be missed. RIP If you interested in an intro to Fleetwood Mac, I suggest you start here.

It is amazing how expensive tree trimming is. I had some done the last two years and will probably do some more the next two.

Damn you. ?

The Bills have always had the ability to play down to the level of their opponent.

Before the virus, I would gather the carts near the cart rack and make sure they were inserted into each other. Grocery stores often have double and triple wide areas and people often leave carts at the opening. For some reason I am compelled to stick all the carts together to insure there is room to put the carts there. Since the virus I don't like to touch multiple carts so I don't do this very often.

The image I see for the rest of my life when I get gas. ?

You lost me. Then I looked at the colour and thought is this guy english. When I saw Ridgeway I understood, or at least understood the spelling. And then I had to look up the emoji. So I am still lost. It must be time for coffee.
