Nova Carmina Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 This was actually last week, but I'm still buzzed about it: My son's college cheerleading team won the NCA National Championship in Daytona, FL! They went without any real expectations (twenty years and no silverware), but they "hit zero" on the second night and won first place! Then they all jumped into the ocean, uniforms, four-foot trophy, mascot, and all. He was so happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I had been considering upgrading to iPhone 14 because I now have to hold my usb charger a certain way to charge it. I later decided to get a magnetic circular charger on Amazon to see if it works and it does. The USB is fine with other ones like my pod case, though. Saved a lot of money so that's a relief. Only about 20 bucks. Even better since Metrolink trains now added some sections with outlets in between the seats for travel to L.A., Universal Studios, beach et al.

BigMontanaSKY Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Getting to talk to my dad yesterday still has me laughing today. Since the Pandemic we have collectively been through a rollercoaster of events and hearing him reminded me that winning in this life isn't always defined in a material sense. Sometimes the real reward in life is the experience. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it only happens when you don't get a good night's sleep (something I only get on weekends anyways), I love having an early morning coffee and watching the rabbits destroy my lawn, the birds eating my grass seed, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't put out enough food for all the birds. They have returned en masse! Finches, sparrows, cardinals, woodpeckers, robins, blackbirds, grackles, crows, the occasional bluebird and blue jay, and a few special appearances by a falcon and hawk, looking for a morning treat! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for sharing a link that shows the picture of the statue. It's always interesting to see how people are connected to the traditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome! I love birds, and as BigMontanaSKY wrote, it is such a joy to watch them build nests. A few weeks ago my spose and I saw two pigeons making a home in a nearby linden tree as we were having a breakfast. The first one collected the sticks and flied them to the building site, the other carefully placed them in the nest. They ended up abandoning the nest very soon, however. I wonder if a squirrel took the eggs, or there might have been other disturbing things in the surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is an afterlife he's not liking it right about now (the funk soul brother). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me, I need to get a new birdbath. The bowl of the old one, which is two piece painted concrete, will no longer sit level on its base, and has become a real pain to keep clean. Sitting in my recliner, looking into the back yard watching the various birds abulutions has always been a treat. Especially when two fat Stellar Jays start dive bombing one another for space. The Stellar can be noisy and aggressive, but make up for it in the consumption of a favorite treat of theirs-mosquito larvae. Populations of the nasty biters had been reduced with the Jay Patrol about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
