its 108 today. fans blowing hot air but this body of mine just can't cool down. everythings moving just a little slower as the summer creeps in upon us. i've moved my bed to the floor in hopes of discovering the sweet spot under the fan...some nights you just have to accept something closer to semi-sweet...
sure fire sign the hot season is upon us...the birds, they must pilot in from the four corners of the city in order to make a perch in our storage room. i mean our dinning area really does take on the persona of a bird sanctuary as they fly by during my morning coffee and eggs...i guess anythings better than a tree in the sun...but today they got their due...i wasn't even trying to chase this one out but it panicked and dive bombed right into the fan, i thought i had another bird-acide on my hands (see blog entry from last may...and attached video). this one didn't die but worse, it limped to the corner with a gimp wing and is now stranded on the bk paul 5th sotry flat i call my home. i abhor these birds, but how can one just toss over the veranda ledge a helpless uni-wing. am i really that cold hearted...
i'm sitting here, in a quandry.
so for now we have a new pet.
though i haven't gone so far as to offer water and seeds. one can't get that close to the enemy...


oh hot season, how we love thee...

ha! this is a great way to slim down the number of visitors you all have every year :)

some things your body just can't get used to.

Beth, the way you write is so great and funny. I love reading your words.

Hold strong dear one! Against the pigeons and the heat.

you and your bird stories...
i think disposing of half-dead birds is officially a "man job."

you could put it in a little box and carry it downstairs...

i heart you.

it is a man job, and thats why i left the bird all day under the table for kyle to dispose of when he got home that night...but even he wore plastic gloves to take it to the roof to die in peace...ha!
