My job is pretty awesome, but it does have its moments, like any other job. I mean, I work with the public, lol.

I was afraid she was coming through the windshield, to be honest. She was that low and that close!

Don't anyone hold their breath on this, lol.

Now that I no longer have a truck, no one ever asks me to help them move. I love my Subaru! It's cool your brother still has all his systems. I do, too, but I didn't start until the Genesis, and then I didn't end up getting another system until the PS2 came out, when we got Jason's little brother's old PS1.

Reminds me of a very old game I used to play on the Apple IIe - Taipan. Just found it on the internet. Oh, the nostalgia!

I love how they make that dive head first and at the last minute drive their feet forward and snag the fish. I've also seen them drop the fish while they're trying to juggle it around so the fish head first (more aerodynamic and easier to carry), and I've seen one flying across the highway carrying a large fish that was at the limit of what it could carry. That was a little too close for comfort, by the way. One should not be able to count the scales of a fish being carried by an osprey from behind the wheel of their car while driving 65 mph!

I'm all better now, thanks! Seems to have just been one of those 48 hour things.

Eagles aren't well-liked by a lot of other birds. I've watched crow families gang up on them and drive them away. That behavior is known as "mobbing", by the way. Crows will do it to any animal or bird that they perceive as a threat to the family. I saw them drive a pair of ravens out of a tree down the road a couple of mornings ago, and they did the same thing with a hawk or eagle in one of the trees in the front yard a week or so ago. I've also seen them drive a fox out of a thicket next to a parking lot where the poor beast had holed up for the day. Consider crows to be the alarm system for the whole forest, lol.

Adam, one thing I can definitely guarantee is osprey updates, lol. They become my obsession for the summer. And I get paid to watch them!!!  After 25 years, I still have to pinch myself sometimes about this job.

Well, my office is only 250 acres, but it is right on the ocean . I plan on doing a virtual nature walk of my park this year sometime, so you've got that to look forward to.

I dunno what that virus is, but it's been kicking ass and taking names! Jason's got it right now, he was the last one.

If you start up My Aquarium, you'll automatically get all those fish, and you started playing before I did, so the gold trophy should be yours by now.
