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.
The creek runs fast - and is deeper than I thought. Ducks float on the surface, after all, but here's a full-grown heron standing in it, and it's clearly not that shallow. It's also not frozen, unlike the pond nearby, that feeds the creek further along than these shots. The heron flew over from the creek to the pond to discover that it was iced over. That didn't deter him, though - I guess he feels he can stab through the ice.

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 -->Well, don't tell the dignified heron, but he looks kind of strange standing on the ice. As for the stabbing through for a fish, well...I'd be carefl, don't want to end up on YouTube, big fella!
I looked at the photos and said, "wow". He looks like he doesn't get it. And why would he?
