Jane’s biography as written by Lily Tomlin.

Ever get ready to snap a photo of that special moment only to discover that the camera is set to “video” mode? 

Well, today I was cleaning up my video folders and found that over the course of eight or nine years of digital picture taking it appears we’ve amassed our fair share of these little time capsules.  Those two second videos are sometimes more amusing and memory provoking than the pictures they were intended to be.  Check out the montage below for a taste.

It’s all “location” humour, meaning you had to have been there.  But you might get a little chuckle anyway.

HOW TO TELL THE SEX OF A BIRD

This Is AMAZING!!!   Until now I never fully understood how to tell the difference between male and female birds. I always thought it had to be determined surgically.  Until now.

See the picture of an ordinary seagull to the left.  Can you tell if it’s a male or a female?  I don’t think so.  However, when you see two seagulls together, one male and one female, it becomes a little easier to tell the difference.

Below is a link to a picture of two birds.  Study them closely…See if you can spot which of the two is female.   It can be done. Even by one with limited bird watching skills.

Click this link to the picture.

Thanks Gerry!

Happy Birthday today to my sweet and wonderful wife.  I don’t know how she does it, but somehow she manages to put up with all the bullshit and stress that I put her through AND she still looks at least a decade younger than the calendar says she should!

Have a wonderful day, my love.  Remember, the worst thing that can happen is to stop having birthdays so savour and enjoy every one.
