When looking up bird pictures, I came across the following article…and discovered that there are NO “seagulls” anywhere, only “gulls.” Who knew?
“Seagulls Don’t Exist on Oregon / Washington Coast – Just Gulls (About Western Gull)”

‘Cept the ones from Alaska. They’uns keep a car at both ends ‘cuz it costs to0 much to bring one down and back every year. Even tho we can drive thru Canada again, it’s about 5,000 miles and half of it pretty rough road to get to Texas from here.

Such a beautiful bird! That’s a Bohemian Waxwing. Funny story. One winter when I lived in Spokane on the South Hill, I had one of those trees near my back door. The berries hang on the tree long after the leaves are gone, and with the cold weather moving in, they naturally ferment. One afternoon an entire large flock of waxwings flew in and landed on the tree, eating the berries at a gobbling rate. At first they were quietly at work. But the more berries they ate, the drunker they got. Quiet became bird chirps became loud calls (insults, I’m sure) became squabbles and screams. It reminded me of a bunch of frat boys on their second keg of beer. I’m sure the neighbors down the block could hear them. Then all of a sudden they were gone and quiet descended again. I didn’t see them fly off, so can’t say if any were wobbling drunkenly as they left, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

That’s really funny, Tundra! A night at the local tree pub and then drunkenly flapping their wings as they flew away.

Yes, “seagulls” they will remain to me, too. Here’s a famous story about Eddie Rickenbacker, a World War 1 airman who was dubbed “Ace of Aces”, and a seagull that saved him during World War 2 after the military plane on which he was a passenger had to be ditched at sea.
Pages 11-12 of a pamphlet entitled “We Prayed” about the entire ordeal….

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today it received 31 pages of documents from the Department of the Air Force, Joint Base Andrews, MD, that show U.S. Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd was housed at taxpayer expense at Joint Base Andrews after he shot and killed U.S. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Good timing. Need this to get ready for an underwhelming day. Got one patient at the hospital, no errands. Guess I’ll do housekeeping, with breaks to sit out in the lovely afternoon (70’s, sunny).

This…………..is how you steal an election. It’s not by faking 100K votes. A few here, a few there and pretty soon, you have 30k illegal voters. Clerical errors, you know. They just happen. Just enough.

Mornin’ All. 22* and just slightly overcast this morning. Not much news from here. I did stay up long enough to see the final vote last night. I wonder how much involvement Trump had in it. I want to see how much that McCarthy agreed to will come to pass. I’m not putting any money on it. I think he will find a sneaky way to keep it from happening.
Anyway, we are now into the New Year. God Bless America.
