Caught up on the rest of the thread. I didn't mean to throw my relative youth in your wrinkly faces. I really do feel like a switch turned somewhere in my early 30's.
I had delusions of still being a young adult as I entered the pandemic a baby-faced 32 year-old. Fast forward a couple of years and it seemed I re-entered the world suddenly middle-aged.

It trips me the fuck out to think that my dad was my current age in 1991.
Yea, I do NOT like that in many of my childhood memories, my dad was my age, if not younger than I am now. He always seemed old as fuck.
This really struck home when my wife and I went to USVI for our babymoon a couple years ago. I realized my dad was the same age when my parents did a Virgin Islands trip and left us kids at home with friends. I can still see the snorkel ID guide they brought back for me.
Heading to college still feels like it should be 2/3 into my life, not the midpoint.

Just found winter wren at my local neighborhood park for park bird #121. It's been great to have such a productive area walking distance from our new place. Unfortunately, a disturbing number of trees are getting tagged with pink ribbon, presumably by the gas company that has a line running through there. It's really going to suck if the couple undeveloped acres south of the park get turned into a sterile grass field.

This one strikes me as an immature red-shouldered hawk, but I don't know for sure.
Also, if you hear strange honking the next few weeks, look up! Geese and cranes are on the move.

This bird is sure to get everyone excited. I found a Brewer's sparrow at my neighborhood park. It's not much to look at, but there are less than a half-dozen records for WilCo, as we are well east of their typical range. One day, I will get a real camera and will no longer have to hold my cell phone up to my bins while my dog pulls at my waist and my baby in a stroller cries.

On topic, as mosquitoes carrying avian flu, which can now reach higher elevations due to climate change, is one of the primary drivers for the existential crisis facing Hawaiian birds.
Just learned that approval has finally been given to introduce mosquitoes that produce sterile offspring this fall, so perhaps this will provide some of the native birds a last-ditch lifeline. They definitely need it.

Certified firearms instructor seems like someone who should be a good guy with a gun who saves us from these situations. Or maybe that line of thought is total bullshit? Going to step away from the internet for a minute, turn off the baby monitor and go hug my guns tightly.

It really is haunting to hear the very last bird of a species sing a forever unanswered song.

Hawaiian birds have, and continue to be totally fucked, unfortunately.

I'm going to my first home game in at least 5 years this weekend with my 77 y/o FIL. Recs on getting in and out of the stadium to minimize his walk as much as possible? I live in Round Rock and could potentially have my wife drive us, if that would be the best option. He doesn't drink so getting there early to go to Scholz or something isn't in the cards.

Much happier with our 2nd attempt at finding a daycare, but these daycare germs are kicking our little guy's ass, just like the first time around. I thought he turned a corner over the weekend, but now he's waking up crying with every cough. It's gonna be a looooong night.

43 minutes ago, Brandywine said:I was listening to the podcast Smartless (Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett) this morning and they had Rachel Maddow on. What a smart woman. She has a new book out called Prequel about how a group of people, including Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh tried to set up a government similar to Nazi Germany here in the US during the 1930's and 40's. They had militia groups all over the US along with sympathizers in government, Senators, etc. I realize that this has been the topic of several movies and TV series over the past few years. Cautionary tales. It seems like our country is going through this again and has been for awhile. It made me think, do you feel that Trump is a student of Hitler's and Nazi Germany, and that's why he acts like he does and talks like he does? I asked my wife that and she didn't think he was smart enough to be a student and that someone else is directing this. Thoughts? Maddow is hopeful that our country will get past this as it has so many times before. But man this is a rerun that just keeps happening over and over. If you get a chance listen to the podcast. I know there isn't a simple answer to all of this.
Calling Trump a student of anything implies that he has taken an interest in something besides himself, and spent time and energy attempting to learn something new. It's an insult to the thousands of pre-K students across the nation who are hard at work shitting their pants and picking their noses.

Wow, I spent valuable seconds of my life watching this game and missed most of Texas' drive down the field.

Andorra sounds like one of those fabricated micro-countries they come up with on the Hallmark Channel crap my wife watches. Between that and her murder shows, I pretty much spend my time in my office drinking heavily.
I am a stupid person who doesn't know how to embed videos, but there is a perfect Onion video for this.

Virginia vs Lousiville getting fun. VA gets some explosive plays and scores, then gets a pick-6 on the next drive. 3 and out for Louisville. Then on 2nd and 27 for VA, they recover a fumble and run it like 40 yards for a score.
