Glow Bull Warming

Is causing this cold weather. I just heard it on the Tee Vee so it must be so. Tee Vee is heavily populated with little talking heads that are too young to remember when this was just normal winter weather. I recall dating a guy who went off to college in Grand Junction, Colorado, when I was in high school. A gigantic snow storm locked down all the airports on Thanksgiving, and another on Christmas and so on all through the early months of the year and well into what was supposed to be spring. I didn't see him for months and months and months because he simply couldn't fly home. They called it global cooling then.

And don't you just hate it when the person in charge of the idiot box....an apt name indeed....goes to sleep with it tuned to lamestream media news? Me too. I used to have my own remote control for moments like those and I swear, even though I never watch it voluntarily, I am going to get a new one.

On a brighter note, I was standing at daybreak watching the morning erupt outside the big windows in the living room (wherein resides the propaganda portal) when I saw a magical sight.

I was birding. I am always birding. And here came this great, bird, hooking his long, hard wings over the thin, cold breeze. Right up to the window, lower than the roof, he had to grab air pretty hard to get over the house.

A bald eagle. He looked pretty fancy in the pink light of dawn. And awesome. I know there are places where they hang around dumps and scavenge fish off the fishing boats, but here in NY, at the breaking of another cold, sharp, day, they are awesome.
