Cancer Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Re: The Last Word The bird feeder station has been rather busy all morning. The chickadees buzzed my daughter when she went out to refill the suet feeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Re: The Last Word Hummingbirds go for sugar water, though it's better if there's a bit more than just sugar in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Re: The Last Word I suspect a strong reason hummers winter over around here is all the feeders. Otherwise it'd be real marginal for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Re: The Last Word We lost the last three days classes of last week (after Monday was a holiday!) which plays havoc with my lesson plan. So when I'm not avoiding thinking about that by playing games, I'm fretting over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Re: The Last Word Well, you guys buck up and include ways to deal with it in your infrastructure. Most years go by here without snowfall being disruptive at all, let alone shutting down major institutions for three days. That level of disruption isn't enough to make people willing to invest in snow-clearing equipment on an adequate scale, and it certainly isn't adequate for people to learn how to drive in snow. Well, you could do that, if you moved away and spent a couple of winters elsewhere. But that's what it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
