The hummingbirds are outa here.
They stayed a week or so longer this time, guzzling down nectar. (Two feeders a day, according to the Brick.) It was almost a gang war out there -- 7 or 8 hummers trying to drink and chase everyone else off. Territorial little buggers.
Anyways, they're gone, down to Mexico -- even the female who enjoyed staring at us and checking out the zinnias on the back deck. The weather's cooler, even more incentive to get the firewood stacked and everything put away.
The Brick is due back tonight from the national conference for the Convention of the States (COS) - a states rights group that he, as well as many veterans, has become involved with. My reserved, quiet husband has been attending meetings and schmoozing with all sorts of people -- which amuses the heck out of me.
Meanwhile, I've had fun cleaning up dog poop, chasing after pups, watching trash TV (Columbo, American Greed and Unsolved Mysteries) -- and work. Lots of it.
We should go back to 'normal' this week -- whatever that is.

Nebraska lost to Michigan 31-27. Poor babies. (Funny... this article made it seem like Nebraska won.) Go Blue!
And the Buffs beat Wyoming 37-20. Go Colorado!

Charlie Kirk's memorial service was today (Sunday).
What Bill Maher thinks about Charlie Kirk.
A very illuminating essay from William Bennett about Kirk and his influence.
and this is odd -- the high-range bullet that hit Kirk should have blasted through him and hit others behind him. But it didn't. The surgeon in charge thought it probably saved someone's life behind Kirk.
"What I learned from debating Charlie Kirk." And it's not necessarily what you would think, either.

Ancient treasures mistaken for junk.
Very funny off-the-cuff comments from celebrities.
Robert Redford died; he was 89. A quirky, interesting actor.
Meals pioneer families ate to stay alive:
A dozen times money was dumped all over, in public. From 1997 through this year...
Why were bone fragments washing up on a New Jersey beach? They belonged to... hey, read the post. I don't want to ruin it for you.
A Boston BLM activitist who started her own nonprofit -- turns out she spent most of the nonprofit's money raised on her own family, instead. (She's expected to plead guilty to multiple cases of fraud shortly...and she's not happy about it, either.)
Texts -- 126 of them -- that will make you laugh. (Okay, some of them are rude. And vulgar.)
Well, there ya go -- when a scientist can't make his mathematical model work -- of life forming from "nonliving organics" -- he decides that aliens must have brought it to earth. Hey, that's easier than believing in a Great Creator...right? Maybe he thinks aliens texted life into existence...
And now I'll show myself out. Have a great week.
