THE BIRDS!!!!

Had a great last trip to Kensington Metropark to see and feed the birdies yesterday with Judy and Marie as the main feeders.  The trees are nearly bare so these sharp eyed little guys have nothing to block their sight from us.  With no exaggeration we had 200-300 landings on palms for a quick munch.  With nary a cloud in the sky, it was the perfect day for this.  We were visited by a photographer that showed us a bird trick.  Throw a peanut into the air in their proximity and a birdie will catch it mid air, really astounding.  Judy and Marie  were having such a good time, it seemed a shame to drag them away.

In yesterday's electoral contest, the incumbents prevailed (sounds like a good name for a band).  Third time's a charm for John James.  He defeated his democratic challenger.  He will be a Republican to watch in the future, well spoken and likable.  And now, since the contest is over, we could get back to governing.  It was impressive to hear Tim Ryan from Ohio concede.  He demonstrated a lesson for all other candidates. The people decide. 

Took a trip to the Aldi store in Oak Park recently.  They had some good prices, but few real bargains.  While it was fun for us seasoned food shoppers to try it out, I don't need to 

add this on to my already long roster of food emporiums.

It's another sunny warmish day here in Berkley.  soon this will be all over and we will be swallowed up by winters gloom.  Had a semi successful day at Planet Fitness this morning.  There's a guy, a stroke victim, who has been putting in the work to recover and in fact is getting more movement, a true inspiration. 

Thats it.

Stay safe

Enjoy this beautiful day!

all for now
