I Swear This Is True




Now 'my' osprey chirps until I come outside if I am inside or come around to the side of the porch where he can see me and then he stops chirping.

He always faces this way, he never faces to the East. You may think that I just pick out photos of him facing me, but no this is not the case. He always faces this way.

It is becoming a very interesting thing. If he is out on the water's edge and chirping, and I come out there and photo him, he will become silent when he sees me. If I go back inside, sometimes he flies into the thicker center part of the property and starts chirping. If I come out and walk the property line until I find him and whistle (he is still always looking this way), he stops chirping.

He is trying to train ME. He is the only bird who's chirp is loud enuf for me to hear thru my DAC-ART walls.

Now , this is one huge bird that is WAY up in the tree tops. Remember that I am using a 10X zoom and cropping him out of a MAX megapixel photo. Click last photo to enlarge and look for him.

Here are today's photos. One of him out near the water and one of his 'hide and seek' game. You can see the sunset colors reflected in this photo.

What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Web Slang

Today I ran across a term that i didnt know (YOU probably DO), "420 friendly" ....but thanks to the remarkable internet, one can do a search and become enlightened immediately. The term "420" and its attendant traditions date back to the 1970s, but at least some evidence exists -- enough to convince any stoner, at least -- that the term has experienced something of a resurgence in our electronic times. On message boards and community sites across the Web, it's possible to find people who are "420 friendly," meaning that they'd love to meet you and smoke your dope.
