Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
Early in the morning - well, no earlier than usual, but these days that's just after dawn - a dove burst off a tree and a Cooper's Hawk landed on the branch. It was very gray still, and he didn't stay very long. The pictures aren't very good, therefore, and Paint Shopped quite a bit to make the details clear... well, clearer. But here he is - the first raptor I've seen in the park - at least, the first one perching.
I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

We had some crows mobbing a red-tail in a strip mall parking lot today, which was unusually cool for the 14 Mile/John R area. Or for the whole area code, come to think of it.
