Birds do it...mating maneuvers? Mother nature fascinates...
Yesterday, I spied two delightful little birds (Starlings, perhaps?) engaging in highly intriguing activity a stone's throw away from my SUV.
Their ritual perplexed (and amazed) me!
I was first drawn to the little darlings after sporatic outbursts in the trees nabbed my attention.
Upon closer inspection, I caught sight of one of the birds hopping on the back of the other - at which point - both chirped excitedly as the wings of the feathered friend on top fluttered up-and-down.
Isn't it too late in the year to be mating?
Even so, though, they appeared to be fu**ing!
My presence didn't appear to bother them in the least.
Voyeurs!

San Francisco...chattering birds a sign! Storm warning...
The other night I strolled out of the Embarcadero shopping mall and suddenly found myself on the edge of a well-manicured little park off of a sidestreet.
When a bronze sculpture caught my eye in the distance, I proceeded to head in that direction in order to inspect the artwork up-close.
As I drew near, hundreds of birds alighting in the branches of trees all above me, began to chatter quite excitedly.
In fact, at one point, an eerie feeling swept over me.
The scene was reminiscent of one from Alfred Hitchcock's horror thriller "The Birds".
Fortunately, I am familair with signs and portents in nature.
When birds slightly alight (or hover) in the sky - and chatter incessantly in the branches of the trees overhead - it is usually a warning of inclement weather or the eruption of some other force of nature (such as an earthquake).
In fact, if you pay keen attention to your own pets - or wild animals in the vicinity of your neighborhood - oftentimes they'll tip you off that some unexpected natural event may be on the horizon.
Sure enough, after I witnessed the bird phenomenon the other night, a huge storm blew into town.
Uncanny!

Sarah Palin...white trailer trash! Letterman incident a fiasco...
Well, the brouhaha over a remark David Letterman made about one of Palin's rat pack last week, appears to have finally blown over.
If you recall, on the late show Letterman uttered up an off-the-cuff quip about Palin's daughter getting "knocked-up" after a brief fling in the big bad city with some high-profile dude who chases skirts.
Palin was allegedly offended by the so-called "crude" remark and demanded an apology.
Initially, Letterman scoffed at the idea of retracting the unflattering barb.
Then, TV's resident late-night bad boy proceeded to play up the brewing controversy, as the ratings revved up in the heat of the nasty spat.
Over-night, though, his cushy world turned upside down as a handful of spiteful Palin followers turned the screws.
Bowing to pressure from CBS higher-ups, and with an eye to squelching impending protests in the mean streets of NYC, Dave finally relented.
However, instead of accepting the apology with little more ado, Palin's handlers seized on Dave's mushy moment to rush in for the kill.
"See, he apologized," they lamented in so many words.
"We were right. Letterman admits what he did was wrong."
Some silly a**hole then made a pitch that Letterman be suspended or fired over the incident.
Talk about petty!
In a turbulent time when banks are failing, unemployment is high, and people are losing their homes, Palin's pack of pit bulls have nothing better to do than focus on such silly piffle?
The truth of the matter is that Palin brought all these woes on herself for failing to implement sex education in the curriculum in Alaska .

Indeed, she never even taught her own children about the birds and the bees, much to their detriment.
In the final analysis?
Sarah Palin and her clan are white trailer trash, no bones about it.
I expect they'll be turning up as guests on the Jerry Springer show any day now the laughing stock of the Nation.
