OT: Behind the scenes at the White House

Hey, I like corws. they are really smart animals and really cool. Why
do you chose to offend the crows? I think that they deserve more
respect than that.

Hey, take it up with the White House; earlier today one of Dim Dub's
mouthpieces admitted the Prez would be "eating a little crow" during
lunch. :-)

Do not sleep under a tree where migrating crows are roosting for the
night. Several hundred crows produce a LOT of droppings! 🙁

At my elementary school we had to stop bringing our lunches in bags, we had
to switch to lunchboxes, the crows stole too many of our lunches when they
were in brown bags. They rarely attempted to take off with a lunchbox.

I think a seagull would. I'll never forget seeing a seagull [censored] a side
order of
coleslaw and swallowing it, including the paper container. We watched
laughing as
a woman tried to protect her family's dinner from a gull. Besides the slaw
the gull
got a burger, some fries, and a Coke. Pigs with wings.

Heh,
I was working on a boat once and one seagull landed on the shoulders of
another, since all the pier posts had a bird on them. The gull on the
bottom put up with it for about a minute and then jumped out from under
and took off. The bird on top, unruffled, just dropped down onto the
piling. You should see the show they put on at the restaurants in San
Francisco when the chef throws out the leftovers. Everybody stops eating
to watch the aerial acrobatics and the gulls never have mid air
collisions. They will even fly upside down to grab a snack from another.
You have to see it sometime.

In Illinois we had more sense than California. Our lockers were indoors and
so were our lunches. . . No birds here. I carried a sack lunch through 4
years of high school at two different locations and two years of Junior
High, too.

School, the only place besides prison where we count the inmates 7 times a
day.

Lockers in the 3rd grade? The only thing I brought to school was lunch,
and the occasional show-and-tell which stayed in the classroom.

Plus, even if we had lockers we would still play outside for 44 minutes
of lunch before we spent 1 minute wolfing down our lunch which had been
sitting on a bench tempting the crows.

I grew up in Illinois so I know what you mean. Birds were a non-issue
there and the schools were sort of locked down. Once you were in that
was it for the day.
Memories of conformity.
Then I moved to California and got culture shock.

Can we PLEASE sell the fruits and nuts back to Mexico? It would make it
cheaper for them to get their nose candy. But they probably wouldn't want
West Hollywood or SanFrancisco. They'd probably charge us to take them
off our hands.

Without the fruits and nuts the population of this state might just be

Nope.
It would be nice to ride on the freeway with no traffic.
All this state needs is about 30 million less people.

We were salmon fishing off Point Reyes one time. A seal took the salmon
I had hooked and all that was left was the head. A gull picked up the
head as I was reeling in my line. That was some fun trying to reel in a
gull. We cut the line and let the gull go after we "landed" him.
