Spring!!??!?03/02/2007 19:41 #38331
Dude, It's Chewed!We feed birds in our yard, even a raven or two.
We like the idea of having somewhere outside we can keep a bag of birdseed. We had a few mice in the autumn this year and last, so we didn't want to keep in inside. We didn't want to keep the seed in just it's bag outside, since we've seen a rat under the birdfeeder. We have also seen a hawk snag a pidgeon, so we hoped the same hawk had snagged the rat (and his rat friends).
So, we got this Rubbermaid trash can. But apparently, the rat and his rat friends can chew through it....
Or it might be squirrels...

Waiting, Waiting...Category: school
I am still waiting for the results of my Predictor test.
It was a week ago today my teacher, Mark, called me to tell me i scored a 12.9 on the maths TABE and was eligible to write the Predictor. A week ago tomorrow i wrote it...
I went to school on Monday and Tuesday and another student was surprised to see me. "Didn't you write the predictor?" he asked me. "Yeah", i said, puzzled, "but if i didn't pass it, then i need to do more work and if i did, i still need to write the actual G.E.D. and either way, i need help with math." He laughed. He's a smart kid, and progessing a lot, but i think his motivation isn't quite the same as mine. Or at least, that is what he said, but in his own words, "i ain't in no hurry".
Neither am i, i reckon. I waited over 20 years to go down this road, so i guess a few more days won't kill me.
Now, no more procrasination. Math awaits...

I Heart ElephantsCategory: elephants
Which is totally not news to anyone that knows me.
But now, i have a grey rubber braclet that proves it, that i heart elephants.
I got it at the zoo today. I am happy to know the elephants are getting a better place to live in the Buffalo Zoo. I know there are critics out there of the zoo and zoos in general. And i think if we want them to have better living conditions, we can do something about it.
The braclet is only 3 bucks. Every bit helps. Consider giving the elephants a little something to help them have a better home....

When you come face to face with one in the wild your respect for them grow even greater! There's nothing like being witness to their awesome power, on their turf.

The thing about Elephants or at least African Elephants not sure about indian or asain elephants is that they are safer in a zoo. Between animals that would like to eat them and pochers who want the ivory they can have a verry dangerous life, unless they live somewhare they are protected.

Pete, How Could You?!?!AARP?!? Please, you're not THAT old!!
I changed my usersound. To Everybody's Happy Nowadays by the Buzzcocks.
Yes, the very same song that is being used for an AARP advertisement. I reckon, like Iggy's Lust For Life, no one in the advertising industry realized that the lyrics are meant to be ironic? Or maybe it was just some covert old school Brit punk masquerading as an ad exec? Yeah, that must be it...

The only thing about having a dog that I don't know I could deal with is the infamous and ubiquitous inside out plastic bag - I could never get used to the feeling of dog turd in my hands.
Still though, I like this weather much better than the other stuff - its nice to be able to open your windows!
Not only spring, but springform baking pans!!!!
