speedy recovery.

Applejack for me!

I asked my son, who is an IT Guy and an Apple Consultant, and he said, basically, "crick in the neck".  I suspect if it was possible to flip the video he'd know about it.  Heating pads usually work well for cricks in the neck!

I posted the following on the Yahoo Board but it occurs to me that I'm one of the very few people who still go there.  I'm sorry that the same message will show up there twice!

Re: Super Moon



There are billions of people in this world of ours and they all have their own
beliefs about everything. This is a Message Board about birds and nature and I
wish we could all stick to that. I'm sure that Bob was a wonderful teacher but
it seemed unnecessary to tell us that he was a Christian and that he could teach
science without going against Creation. That could be offensive to someone who
is NOT a Christian or who doesn't believe in Creation. I'm sure there must be
more appropriate Message Boards to discuss those things.

Wow!  What a find, Paul!

Yes, I sure did notice, and I thank you very much!  Jan in CT

If I had that kind of money I'd give it to people who are out of work, in danger of losing their homes or have already lost them and are hungry.  That must be a horrible place to be in.  I would do what I could to help them.  Unfortunately all we can do is donate to suitable charities in smaller amounts and to local food banks and toy collections.   If only wishes were dollars we'd be able to do more than just the small stuff.

Anne, I'm loving hearing of your stealth tree trimming. You should take a picture and show us what it looks like, but maybe not until you (and you helper/helpers) have had a chance to do some more decorating!

Thanks very much, Ei!  The Bermuda Longtail is a favorite of mine that I wanted to share.  Just didn't know how!

We hardly ever saw wild turkeys here until a few years ago.  The people at our local nature center told me that they were making a comeback because there weren't many raccoons around to eat their eggs.  Rabies got a lot of raccoons here in CT a few years ago!

That's perfect!  I really don't much like November because it means winter's coming, and I REALLY don't like that.  Also, my book club has a poetry dinner each December.  Each member brings a dish to share and also must bring a poem and read it to the group.  I always do short ones because I'm not such a big poetry fan.  I'm reading NOVEMBER this year!  Thanks, Anne!

Shaky, that is awesome news!  Seems everyone has time to post smileys but posting a name is impossible!  I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be loving the signature feature and I thank you for staying up until 1:30 a.m. to figure it out!
