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 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 -->Ignoring the fact that arrow-splitting is a fiction to begin with, I don't find it hard to imagine a hypothetical form of archery in which splitting an arrow counts as a win. Partly because what you've done is more difficult than what the other person did, and partly because it wouldn't be the first time logic took a back seat to dramatic potential in governing the rules of a game/sport.
I used to do a bit of archery (and I still have my equipment), but I gave it up because I felt squeezed between the beginners and the experts (didn't feel ready to compete with the experts, but couldn't shoot on the practice range from 30 metres while the beginners were shooting from 10).
Would value your thoughts on my latest blog post, which, happily, includes a photograph of my local archery club (final picture). It also includes several bird pics, which you've taken quite a few of in the past, although mine are less about the birds per se than about the composition of the scenes that contain them.
