What did we ever do to you?

For years. we have this bird, a chickadee is my guess that always lands on our car and pecks the crap out of our mirrors. It is the same bird and it leaves its own crap and has marked up both of our car mirrors. What have we ever done to this bird? We are a bird friendly family. In fact, last count, we have at least 7 active nests in our front bushes and under our decks. I cleared out the abandoned ones but they soon come back. The bird in question lives in our front bushes and we have never messed with her nest.

The picture I took here was me in the truck. I pulled in. Turned off the car and about 2 seconds later, she shows up and start pecking. The fear of man is almost non-existent when it comes to the instinctual need to peck mirrors.

How could I have let you all down?

To all of the masses who come to get words of wisdom and life skill direction from my blog.... I'm sorry. To those of you who visit to seek enlightenment and life application... My apologies.

Now, lets talk about this for a moment. I have been pestered at home, at work, at poker, on camping trips about me not updating the blog. However, during the peak times, I would perhaps get 50 hits. I dunno. It seems like I have been pestered by more than that. Maybe I'm double and triple counting the same complainers.

Anyway, I am back and will keep this updated more often. To start things off. I wanted to share this mysterious apple I had in Santa Clara. Yup, you guessed it. It is a map of China OR Iran. Take your pick.

Double Rainbow

My Mom used to tell me that a rainbow was God's way of telling us his promise to never flood the earth again like he did with Noah.

.

But what Mom forgot to tell me is that a double rainbow is a double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops, and appear at an angle of 50°–53°. As a result of the second reflection, the colours of a secondary rainbow are inverted compared to the primary bow, with blue on the outside and red on the inside.

Playground Fail

I am no expert on the subject but I am pretty darn sure that a swing set needs to be level and not going with the slope of the yard.

You can see this in person at the corner of Laidlaw and Saltzman.

Where the heck is Adam?

Does anyone know what happened to the Adam Carolla show? I hate the Howard Stern Show and was glad to see it go. Adam is where it's at! But BAM! he is gone and they replaced it with this Rick Emerson Show on 101 which is by far the worst morning show I have ever heard. And that is saying something as 99% of all morning shows Suck. Talent is not a requirement in these shows. A few crank calls and a posse of idiots laughing at each other's bad jokes is all it takes to make a show. Adam had talent. Please tell me where the heck he went.... Please!

As for 101 KUFO. There is absolutely no reason to go to that station anymore. Time to erase it from my Radio Memory.

Radio

Did you see what was on the radio yesterday?

Man Hunt.... You can help?

Patty and I were watching the late night news and they were talking about a murder down in Salem. They gave a description of the suspect:

Caucasian, 6 feet tall, 180lbs, wearing black and a ski mask.

If ANY of you see someone that meets this description, you need to call the authorities. Generally, when I see someone wandering about wearing black and a ski mask I think nothing of it. Now I have to think again.
