May 24, 2024 The trees got horny and slooged a bunch of pollen on my car the other day. I was annoyed that my car had a yellow sheen on it. Yesterday, I walked outside and noticed that pollen was the least of my concerns. I believe that a single bird, in the avian version of Narcissus, saw its reflection in the car, and instead of being in awe of its beauty, it viewed it as a rival and probably spent most of the morning or afternoon attacking it, quite literally beatingthe shit out of itself in the process and onto my car, the ground, as well as part of the neighbor's car. There are no branches overhanging where I park and this hasn't been a problem before now. But a year ago a bird spent a few days attacking its reflection in my bedroom window, and I noticed a few cars had poop on their driver's side mirror and the corner of the driver's side window, suggesting that a bird perched there and flew into the driver's window (also there were dust marks there). But this time, to quote Dr. Klahn from A Fistful of Yen from The Kentucky Fried Movie, this was a bird with a fighting force and poop-filled guts of extraordinary magnitude. It has our gratitude." To be honest, when I saw it, I thought it was pretty damned funny. Here's the full-sized picture. Note all the splatters on the ground as well. Remarkable... |

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random
sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes
just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly
scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also
am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated
it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of
people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title
provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind
if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search
engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.
Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox
properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't.
I don't care.
