oh ... actually that was really easy ...

every time I went to log in I read some shit about new blogger and google account and whatnot and I clicked away in a cloud of "whatever" but, yeah it turns out, if you actually read it, it made sense

here's the thing ... I moved ...

same apartment building, just upstairs to a larger space

Here's what I learned:
It's easier to move across town than it is to move up two flights of stairs
Not only are there nine types of vinegar, we need all nine of them

Right outside our window is a loquat tree. Lots of suirrels and crows are attracted to that tree, as are cats and spiders and one of my neighbors eats them too. I heard a noisy and unfamiliar bird in that tree the other morning, I had a closer look, expecting it to be one of the usual suspects, but it was bright, almost fluorescent green. There was a parrot in the tree outside my window! Or a parakeet, whatever, I'm not sure, not the piratey looking bird but the little green one. I had read about these feral parrot/parakeet colonies in San Francisco and Glendale. That evening he came back with a little friend.

Parrots!

Comments:
Those parrots are in colonies all over the US now. There was a big article on it in the Sun Times last year, I think---they are in the burbs and in the city here too now. They are LOUD, and very pretty green. I cannot believe they manage to live thru the winter here, but they do. They nest near power lines for heat!
