So the usual death and dismemberment stories are in the news today about people having accidents with fireworks or even worse behaving stupidly with fireworks.   One story stuck out, a 22 y/o man in Maine thought it would be cool to strap a fireworks mortar to his head and set it off............he died instantly.   ::)  Apparently he was not the only one, a 47 y/o out in the western states did the same thing...with the same results........... ::)

And the Darwin Award winner for 2015 is...............................................................    :explode: :boo: :mo:

Thinning the herd is a good thing yet the news never seems to portray it as such  :dunno:

No, now the guys mother wants everybody who wants to buy fire works have to take a course in fire works safety and pass a test.  This guy was DRUNK.  No amount of classes or training would have prevented this.  And the people he was with were pretty drunk too!   ::)

The guy's mother should have a DNA test if she is still fertile. :zoinks:

I saw a raven today,  I heard it too which was one of the reasons I knew it wasn't just a giant crow.  I live outside their normal range and they are rather uncommon here

Ooh.  Did it say, "Nevermore"?

Went to a pet expo where people can bring their pets while they shop/wander. It was sharing space with the reptile expo. The majority of people who were shopping for reptiles all had piercings and tattoos. Daughter cried because she wanted me to buy her a tarantula.

They make more of a low croaking noise than the higher pitch caw caw from a crow

I just recently had my fence replaced and I used to be able to see between the boards into the neighbours yard behind me and I was so happy when the new fence was complete privacy. I don't care of them much at all. Love the neighbours beside me though and the privacy fence made our "through the fence chats" that much harder. :P

Meltdowns suck.
Massive meltdowns even more, because the environment will melt too.

The coffee machine is making creaking noises. Time to clean it, I think.
