Contemplations of a Senior Citizen
My tolerance for idiots is extremely low today. I used to have some immunity built up, but obviously there is a new strain out there.
Sorry I haven't gotten anything done today. I've been in the Produce Department trying to open this stupid plastic bag.
Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror and think "That can't be accurate?"
I put my scale in the bathroom corner and that's where the little liar will stay until it apologizes.
Hard to believe I once had a phone attached to a wall, and when it rang, I picked it up without knowing who was calling, and I'm still alive.
As I watch this generation try and rewrite our history, one thing I'm sure of – it will be misspelled and have no punctuation.

The Merlin Bird App
Photo by Joe Bruno
With Spring here, many birds are chirping around Kendal.
A smartphone app from Cornell University's Ornithology Lab is free and fun.
Merlin Bird ID, as it's called, is available free on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
You can identify birds by description, by picture, or even by sound.
It's particularly fun to record a bird, or birds, then have the app identify which
bird or birds it hears. Then you can play back the calls of that particular bird.
Thanks to Joe Bruno for sending this link.
