Lyrics

I used to think that my hearing got bad when I hit my 40's. With hindsight, I've been thinking that I must have been hard of hearing for a long time before that. Upon remembering some old time favorite songs and lyrics, I was laughing at myself while remembering a few choice songs.

"There's A Bad Moon On The Rise"---"There's A Bathroom On The Right"
or;
"She's Got A Ticket To Ride"---"She's Got A Tick In Her Ass, (And She Don't Care)"

Can I blame it on a transistor radio not having a strong signal? Ha Ha

Bomb Squad

I wore a t-shirt that I guess looked kind of official.
Some guy working on another crew saw me and really thought that I was part of a bomb squad. I laughed so hard it brought tears to my eyes, then I thought man I guess in these times it may be necessary to have folks like this in some work environments, and then it wasn't so funny. (Someone also added that this being a christian focused convention, it would be a prime target for terrorists)
My shirt's logo said;


BOMB SQUAD
if you see us running, try to keep up

Hummers In Action



This morning was my first day off in awhile, nice to be awoken by the Hummers, rather than the alarm clock. They were really talking and singing up a storm. Not only their song, but the sounds from their wings are fun as well.
I just refilled the feeder having made up the batch last night, and put it in the refrigerator so it would be nice and cool for them.
They are swarming like mad, I just love them.
Below is a site that I found that has a few short sound bytes of these beautiful Hummingbirds.

The Distant Rumble

The Sumatra-Andaman Fault.

Here is a site that you can listen to the recording of the underwater sound produced by the magnitude 9.3 earthquake that took place December 26th 2004.
