It was a bit freaky as they are notorious for "swooping" bicycle riders and cats and anyone they deem a threat to theor nests. But these two siblings I think were just 'practicing' as they seem to like us. I did just mow the back yard though, and was moving it around to the front, so maybe thought it was some motorized monster. Still, I think they were just playing with me.

The critters here apparently are so busy getting on each other’s nerves that they have no time and / or energy left to annoy those strange bipeds, especially because quite a few have canines of all shapes and sized accompanying them. A certain size hierarchy is noticeable, magpie trumps jay (though we had on big jay here that did not take guff from any magpie), raven / crow trump magpie. But then several magpies occasionally strafe a solitary raven (perhaps a youngster). Blackbirds occasionally do the same to jays, magpies and ravens, but a certain sort of apparently migratory thrush has been keeping all larger birds away when they have been breeding here. I think I’ve seen them send off even buzzards, they attack in squadron strength, and from all corners. Squirrels are nervous about flying things to variable degrees – buzzards and some falcons are capable of taking at least injured adults. Some, after noticing that the flying shadow that scared them was “only” a raven, will occasionally charge even the ravens in a contest for peanuts and walnuts (for walnuts, the ravens are the only competitors, no other bird here can carry one away).

Members of the corvidae family are exceptionally intelligent. I have no doubt they were playing with you, Hanasían. Many years ago an acquaintance of my father's had a raven that he had rescued as a fledgling. He was very clever, and affectionate.

Last night there were two hares grazing on our meadow. Purely size-wise, in a nose-to-nose encounter with way over half of the pooches romping on or passing by the meadow, they would lead the nose-contacted pooches to “yikes!” induced involuntary manure deposits.

How the hell can someone snore so damn loudly? It sounds like there's a water buffalo in my house. Are the sinuses okay? Geez.

I once stayed in a classy hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland and there was a guest two rooms over who snored so loudly he literally kept the guests on the three floors awake. His wife was in the same room and I was surprised she hadn't suffocated him with his pillow to shut him up.

After re-reading books two and three of Frank McCourt’s “Irish Trilogy”, I once again tackled his first, rightly praised, rightly nerve-rattling accusation at the western, specifically Anglophone, world, “Angela’s Ashes”. Almost finished.

I'm going to start rereading The Wheel of Time but I have to dig the books out of the bookcase. This major undertaking will occur after I've sorted out the crap on the floor .

I'm thinking of sending some specialized Massachusetts made only fine chocolates to a couple of friends in California for Christmas, but I cannot decide what to send. There's so many choices.

Having to buy a new light for our toilet lamp, we now have an additional room illuminated by LED lighting!

Why do some people feel the need to talk to me through the bathroom door? Let me s*** in peace, your conversation is not that important.
