  1. To bad you lost your soup, it could have happend while someone was standing in front of the stove.

I happend to be close by a saw the cover start to fall, I grabbed laura by the waste pulled her out of the way to avoid getting burned.

  2. Your article is very interesting.

    We've never spent much time in the Deserts, just the thought of it sounds hot hot hot. I'm sure in the winter months is much more comfortable. We'll have to try it one of these days. We not much for hiking, how about 4 wheeling trails?

    But I'm wondering when using Cactus in the plural, is Cactai, Cactuses or just Cactus???????????? : I tried to add a smiley face, but they were bashfull and wouldn't show there faces.

  3. Catching Hummingbirds for banding it turns out is quite easy. Our friends Dave and Sandy demonstrated that fact at their home near Bliss NY. Dave is an Ornithologist and a good one at that. They simply hand a couple of bird cages with a humming bird feeder inside. Leave the gate open and the bird finds the feeder. The gate is held open either with a fishing line or he also has an electronic control that when released closes the gate while inside, gotta be quick. Then while the bird is inside we just open the gate and reach in and close our hand around the bird. Once he is in your hand, he is quiet. Then we put it in a mesh bag and Dave would then take it and measure it, weigh it, examine it for fat content, then put a mall numbered band on his tiny little leg. All the data is recorded. They weigh a little more than a penny. After completing the banding, Dave would place the bird in someone's open hand. It would lay there for 15 to 30 seconds until it decided it was free to fly, and away he would go.

    Quiet facinating.

    Bill :rolleyes:
