The (Other) End of the Internet

Now this is much more useful than a bird who says idiotic stuff like “Polly want a cracker”. This Amazon parrot actually saved its owners’ lives.

My sister emailed me some cartoons today. I thought some of them were pretty funny, so I thought I’d share them here.

That’s probably enough for now. I’ll post some more another time.

My last post reminded mt that tomorrow I’ll be taking Daughter Number Two back to her school as well. There is one small town which we pass through that I have decided should be renamed Stinkville.
