A bibliography of my published books and stories.

Here's a simple card-counting FAQ to get you up to speed on the basics. Here's the true story of the notorious DD' blackjack team, told for the first time on the fabulous internets. No other team went from a starting investor's bankroll of zero to winning millions of dollars.


A Sadean take on Asimov's classic Three Laws of Robotics can be found in Roger Williams' NOW REVIEWED ON SLASHDOT!!! The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. Adult readers only please -- explicit sex and violence. For updates on the "Dead Tree Project" and other topics, you may visit the official fan site, Passages in the Void..

bald eagle and the crows are huffy

2003-02-16 - 10:26 a.m.

While doing my Backyard Bird Count this morning, I added Bald Eagle to the yard list. Whoo hoo!

later

Here are my results:

  1. Bald Eagle
  2. Eurasian Collared Dove
  3. Mourning Dove -- 2
  4. Red-Headed Woodpecker (heard)
  5. American Crow -- 5
  6. Blue Jay
  7. Carolina Wren -- 2
  8. Ruby-Crowned Kinglet

  10. Yellow-Rumped Warbler
  11. Northern Cardinal -- 2
  12. White-Throated Sparrow -- 3
  13. Song Sparrow
  14. Red-Winged Blackbird -- 7

I watched from 9:15 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. Conditions were overcast, very windy, and cool.

BF is trying another squirrel baffle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

and I mean maybe five minutes later

A beautiful Orange-Crowned Warbler visited the suet feeder. This specimen was quite yellow. I'm going to guess fully adult male.

On another topic...

I'm only a little bitter when a good diary gets locked. It's fully understandable. A lot of diarists are exploring heavily personal issues and if they're going to get hassled by stalkers for their efforts, they're not going to continue to share. I think most people are respectful of other people's diaries and recognize the effort that goes into providing free entertainment, insight, and/or information. Unfortunately, all it takes is for one jerk to come along, and that's the end of a good site for everyone.

In my search for good diaries to read, I'm about ready to give diaryrings another try. I got frustrated before and deleted them because I encountered too many locked diaries. I respect people's right to lock their diaries but, when they do so, I would hope that they would remember to remove themselves from their diaryrings.

They are talking about winter Wood Thrushes on the listserv and it sounds like I should have reported my January 10 sighting. I'm going to try to find out how and where to file my report. The sighting is a good one, as the bird was standing only a few feet away on a rotten log pretty close to the path. Those big dark eyes still haunt my memory.
