- I've got a roadrunner in the back yard, big as an owl. The CO (a true
- bird lover) really admired him, until I explained why he liked our back
- yard so well: we have a steady supply of baby birds. [Thanks to $50 a
- month worth of bird seed the CO scatters each day.]
-
- It's the same reason we have three neighbor's cats out there most of the
- time too.
-
- Peeve: The notion that "cute" critters somehow deserve to live more than
- the rest.
-
- Antipeeve: The roadrunner ain't afraid of cats.
-
- Peeve: There are some "unusual" grasses (the kind that gag the lawnmower)
- around the bird bath. No doubt the desert equivalent of kudzoo,
- sprouted from the bird seed.
-
- I feel a bit like a character in a Stephen King novel..
-
- ...Kkkaakkkkkkk!!!

- (((lawnmower man indeed!)))
