If I find an empty fluff of feathers in the next few days, I am really going to feel awful.
Hawks got to eat to. We have a Coopers that hangs around our yard when the dogs are not out.

I think you meant if you find the area littered with feathers.
Thanks for the English lesson.

We had one on the fence out back eating a mouse that I saw when pulling into the driveway. I haven't seen one so close to the house before. He was about 2-1/2 feet from the windows in the office.

Another PS5 order canceled, even after we had called and confirmed they had it in stock.
This is just getting ridiculous.

Boru
Jada's behavior also had a part in this. Will actually laughed at the joke initially and then got the eye and probably a few hushed words. She's the petulant one who couldn't take it.

I grew up a mile from Hawk's Ridge in Duluth. Go, feather fluffers, go.

I was late to my first Fight Club last night, so I missed the intro and the rules. Anyway, Fight Club is great. A really interesting bunch if people. I highly recommend Fight Club to anyone!

I've heard that some people go to Mexico to buy PS5 because it is easier to get one there.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Unsolicited, Alexa started giving me "self-care tips." What would a machine know about self-care?

Speaking of Alexa - I have an evil plan for the next time I am at my daughter's house...she told me that there's a song her husband absolutely hates...I'd like to tell their Alexa to play it every hour.
