At our house we have a birdfeeder for the sparrows and finches. they are kinda fun to watch, especially when the fledglings first start to organize some order of feeder dominance.
the seed husks I cold do without, but thats not the point of todays rambling.

We have a pair (at least) of desert dove that unlike most of the others, seem to want to come in our house. they dont fly in, just wander in like a pigeon and look around like they are gonna move in or something.

our computer plotter is acting up at work. or, at least i think its the plotter. prints autocad files fine but ask it to print a pdf from reader or acrobat and whoa: things get all stoopid.

The gate was left open. It took all of 10 seconds for my hounds to notice and bolt. Instead of going to the left, which is the way we go when we take walks (on a leash) they went right, which takes them to a very busy 4 lane. Greyhounds don't know about cars and traffic - they know running.

As they made their way down the street they ignored the frantically barking dogs. I guess freedom was more important than olfactory satisfaction. My husband went after them on foot. I...

Robert Fripp has decided to do one more tour with King Crimson. This band will include the primo drummer, Gavin Harrison, from Porcupine Tree - as well as the insane talents of Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto and Adrian Belew. Awesome lineup.

I love King Crimson. Just thought I'd mention that.

They just finished rehearsing here in N'ville (Fripp stays at Belew's house which is just down the road. And yes, we watched the local Starbucks to see if we could catch Fripp...
