Just looking...


...for any donated snacks to fend off starvation. Actually, these little guys are probably the best-fed crows in town. They not only get their natural diet, but people ignore the house rules here, and treat them to cookies, cereal, and bread. They thrive on 75% whole wheat, and they enjoy a few slices of Chunky Cheese Bread periodically. They can airlift that stuff all over the neighborhood in mere minutes, and they like to fly over to a neighbor's roof, so they can dunk the munchies in some water in the eavestrough so they'll slide down easier. These guys are not stupid - they know all the tricks. One even caught a slice of bread in midair one morning, and I wish I could've got that on film.

  2. Alas, Monsieur, where she is, je n'en ai pas la moindre idee and I apologize for this English keyboard not having the proper accents for writing French - (in case I ever learn that language!)

    When this huge place with its many rooms and many curtained windows was first built, I wondered if it might be another of those upscale pot farms we've been reading about around here. But since then, I've seen a young woman and a couple of little kids there, along with a guy who drives an expensive pickup truck and a car or two. Tradespeople come and go, and they even put in an irrigation system for what I'd call a rather small yard - considering that the house now takes up a large chunk of that property. Obviously, it's nice to have money.
    The closest to a pretty girl on that bench was earlier in the summer, when a cute young thing on
    a gardening crew was bent over it
    in her short-shorts, pruning the shrubs behind it. No nubile young stuff in bikinis, or anything :(

  4. "Some sweetie might sit down there someday..."

    I might not live that long, and even if I do, I'm totally invisible to any
    gal under the age of 70 - and there are damned few of those that could start any action on my applause meter - Barbarella being one notable exception. She still looks great.
