Dear WNRN,

Birds

Instead of picking just the seeds it wants, the Carolina chickadee simply picks a random seed and realizing that it's not a sunflower seed, tosses it on the ground. The Chickadee will do this until it gets the seed it wants, at which point it flies away from the feeder, eats the seed, and returns to repeat the process.

In other news, the cardinals are quite miffed. The old feeder broke. Not thinking, I replaced it with a feeder that doesn't have perches. Smaller songbirds can land on the wire framework mesh, but cardinals cannot. The cardinals have not yet discovered the tray feeder. I think I'll pick up a tube feeder with perches next paycheck. The cardinals *will* eat the chickadee's castoffs, but they were very fond of the old feeder. I'll have to put something cardinal-friendly up.

Oy.

So, it's a lazy night at the Exploding Cat and Pie house and we're watching Big Joe's Polka Show on RFD-TV.

Anyhow, I comment on the venue--wondering where it is. explodingcat replies, "I don't know, but the lesbianism is rampant!"

I sputter for a bit, insisting that they're just widows or have male partners who don't dance. Then I come to my senses and acknowledge that all these ladies might be elderly Polish lesbians. I ask boy how that makes him feel.

"Lucky to be alive!"
