the respect of cardinals 2006-01-24 - 8:32 a.m. I didn't see my cardinals or much of anything else yesterday, except the mockingbird, who continued to sing his domination of the yard while I walked underneath him to get the mail. Maybe the fog, maybe the fact that I was gone while they visited because of my doctor's appointment. Who knows. This morning, I saw the male cardinal sitting and staring pointedly at the bird table I set up a few days ago where I've been putting leftover pellets and seed. (Sorry, doves, but I can't feed on the ground any more because of the huge post-K explosion of feral cats.) I wonder what they think of us. They certainly don't think of us as gods -- more powerful beings who have the food and just need to be cozied up to in order to convince us to fetch it. Before Katrina, this male (or perhaps another?) was starting to come to my window and glare inside at me. He did it (again?) on Sunday. Sometimes the female would join him in the glare fest. Hey, I can't get no respect. It's hard to get into their beady little minds, but they appear to have an attitude that we humans are a slightly dysfunctional vending machine that needs to be glared at or, in extreme circumstances, banged on the side once in awhile. D. stopped by for about 5 minutes yesterday to drop off a DVD player that he's been driving around with for two years. Stupid Walmart had dropped the going rate on them so low that we couldn't sell it, so he was holding it until somebody's player gave out and they needed a replacement. We were the lucky winners. I hate to gripe at someone doing something so nice for me. But he also mentioned that he wanted to go to the Superbowl. A month ago, I found airfare for $200 a person. Now it's more like $600. I think I'm going to cry. DH assures me that the dates for Superbowl were already set when he visited Detroit in August. Maybe D. only wanted to go if certain teams were playing? bangs head on wall I've been wondering about the relentless media hysteria about methamphetamines, a very old drug that has been around since way before I was born, once famously described by Dr. Fester as the drug that fueled the Third Reich but even more famously known as the drug that fueled Camelot. Now the secret is out as to why they are suddenly such a terrible, terrible scourge. There is a new over-the-counter diet pill coming out. As always in a free market, competition is only good for the little guys and any competition to a large business, especially a large pharmaceutical company, must be relentlessly and viciously suppressed. So, get this, the new pill will cost $12-$25 a week which the skeptic in me reads as $50 a week for an average weight loss of 5 to 6 pounds. Can you imagine? $25 a week for something that basically doesn't do anything? No wonder they have to rant and rave that meth makes your teeth fall out. Well, the way I'm reading it, this new drug admits to being a fat-blocker. No fat, no calcium absorption. So it will make your teeth fall out too, won't it? Or maybe they're hoping you'll just go broke before that happens. minutes later Yay, in an amazing stroke of luck, I checked and the airfare has fallen again. I wonder if it's too early to get D. on the phone! back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
