Ravens are such BULLIES!!!

I woke up today to find two California Condors sunning in a tree not far from our deck in Idyllwild.  A Raven sees the two Condors and decides he doesn’t like this.  Immediately he starts pestering them:

A raven decides he doesn’t like condors in his tree.

The Ravens shows the Condors who’s Boss….

The Condor shows the Raven his….Wingspan

The Raven wins, no more Condors, no more Ravens

The Condors spanned their wings repeatedly in order to defend their tree but the Raven kept up.  He eventually brought another Raven to help him in the assault.  They attacked the Condors from both sides.  In the end, the ravens chased off the Condors only to abandon the tree themselves.  They didn’t want the tree – they wanted to show the Condors who’s the boss!  I thought this was unbelievable!  And to top it off, about two hours later, I watched the Ravens chase off a RedTail Hawk who was just cruising over my house.  The ganged up on it, dived bomb its head and kept chasing it until it too, flew off!  I tell you, Ravens are the Bullies of the bird world!

Global Warming is a Crock!

I was delighted after watching “George Carlin on Global Warming” on YouTube.  I know, I know, this was published last year, so I finally emerged from my rock and had an EPHIONY!   Mr. Carlin is one of the most intelligent and articulate men who ever lived and now I see why!  He is RIGHT ON TARGET in this video!  It moved me so much, I felt I had to share it:

Another Day of Heat

This is my first blog.  I am new to the “blogging” thing but decided to give it a whirl and see if I can link it to my existing website.

The heat in the Valley here is really starting to “burn”.  It reached about 114* yesterday and I don’t know about you, but to me that is STUPIDLY STUPID HOT.  I mean, please!  I don’t live in Death Valley, do I????  My air conditioning bill is going to be HELLA STUPIDLY HIGH and what is the purpose people???!!!  Ok, I’m done.  Besides that, I am sitting inside a very nicely cooled air-conditioned office so who am I to complain???  Besides, even though it’s ANOTHER HELLA HOT DAY OF HEAT out there, I don’t care!  Unless I have to run errands.  Even then, I am lucky to have my gym towels to soak up so more sweat, hey!  Yeah?  Who needs the gym?  LOL, no seriously folks, drink lots of water.  I’m going to need it.
