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.
I don't know what kind of berries these are - red and yellow throughout September - but this tree has always also flashed the red and yellow of the blackbirds in spring and summer. In fall, when they're gone, a paler bird moves in, with a sweeter song.
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...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Looks like a pyracantha bush. We had them all over the place in Texas when I was younger (I mean I was younger when I lived in Texas; I'm sure the bushes are still there.). Mockingbirds love them!
I thought about that too, but there are no thorns. Are there thornless Pyracantha?
I don't think it's a pyracantha. The berries don't grow in those tight clumps, and it's more like a tree than a shrub.
