Remembering Memorial Day Andy Rooney
i like Rudyard Kipling
tommy
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!
i like Thomas Hardy
The Man He Killed
Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.
I shot him dead because--
Because he was my foe,
Just so: my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although
He thought he'd 'list, perhaps,
Off-hand like--just as I--
Was out of work--had sold his traps--
No other reason why.
Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat, if met where any bar is,
Or help to half a crown.
and i still like Country Joe Mcdonald
"Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die Rag"

gray catbird


"A secretive, but curious skulker of dense thickets, the
Gray Catbird is heard more than it is seen."

cedar waxwing

i was surprised to see a cedar waxwing today
along the river walk in downtown elkhart
from all about birds cornell.edu
The Cedar Waxwing is one of the few temperate
dwelling birds that specializes in eating fruit. It can
survive on fruit alone for several months. Unlike many
birds that regurgitate seeds from fruit they eat, the
Cedar Waxwing defecates fruit seeds.
