Two magpies are fighting right outside my bedroom window with a whole lot of squawks and flapping.

At least I assume they're fighting and not having sex.

A couple hours ago a neighbor down the street was singing opera while mowing his lawn :GA:

I can't stand 'normal' opera. Ugh, goes straight through me. But I love doom metal opera, especially the sort with violins, but heavy, with a female lead vocalist in operatic style. I have to wonder what the neighbors think, when I've brought the computer or a CD player outside into the garden so I can listen to music while I'm doing some sort of chemical experimentation that needs to be done outdoors, blasting it out on the stereo while wearing gas mask, face visor, drop down blast-shield and elbow-length rubber gloves with a heavy fabric pair of gardening gloves over the top  :heisenberg:

Lestat, I actually really like the doom opera that you've posted here. I expected to hate it and only listened out of curiosity.

I used to dislike opera but it's grown on me - maybe from watching opera singers make an impact on some of the TV reality/talent shows. I've become a big fan of Pavarotti over the past few years as well.

When groundhogs attack....

BIL was out on the deck facing the hill yesterday...unknown to him...under the 5-maybe 6" space of the deck is the lair of "Chubbs" (goundhog)...he's a good 20 lbs if not more and I'm not sure how he hasn't gotten lodged trying to wiggle under there yet.

Chubbs is on the hill eating my hosta's when my BIL startled him...so the 20 lb missile comes hurtling full tilt down the hill headed directly for his hole which happens to be directly under where my BIL is standing. 

Not sure who can run faster now. :laugh:

My FIL had a .22 rifle as an answer to woodchucks eating his plants.  The number killed and stuffed down their holes would depopulate a small country.  He was trying to feed a family of 7 on his salary.  Can't say as I blame him!

I had a very small Siamese cat named Bonsai.  She had kittens and my mother thought it would be fun to see how our other cat would react to Bonsai's kitten.  Bad decision.  Bonsai hissed and arched up.  We closed the door on the downstairs bathroom and let her calm down overnight.  Well, my 6 foot father went into the bathroom the next morning.  Bonsai charged him.  Dad didn't stop running until he was at the top of the stairs.  Bonsai was never more than 5 lbs, dad was over 200.

Bonsai is probably the best name ever for a very small Siamese cat.

That is an cute name. 

Boy used to visit the uncle of a friend that had a rather large, fat cat they called Wimbalton. I always liked that.  :laugh:

The reason she was named Bonsai was because she was small and had a bend near the tip of her tail, just like the tree.  If I get another Siamese I'll name her Pywacket from The Bell, Book and Candle.

Here, too raining on and off most of the day. Summer time heat, though. Our lows for the days are around or above our normal day time high temperatures. HIghs like late summer temps.
Hot summer, hot fall ...
Still no leaves changing, yet.

October, where are you?

Pavarotten, definitely not my kind of music, a doubtless diabetic fat git who squeals like a pig with a truncheon being forced up his fucking arse diagonally after being covered in PAVA spray.

Whilst giving birth to a litter of ten pit bull puppies. Hungry pit bull puppies. Without a minge, until one is carved out with a rusty, blunt penknife. :P

The blackened doom breed of opera though, that I do like.

:)

Until I hit maybe half a century in age I felt the same about opera.

It is something that has grown on me. Not sure if it is age or just that I've had time to listen to more of it.

I used to think that most people who claimed to like opera were only pretending so that they could appear cultured. Actually that's probably still the case.

I'm not beyond hope though. I'm not listening to opera CDs in my car (my kids would kill me). Just the occasional dose is enough.

I do really like that doom opera though.

One type of music that drives me mad is Balinese music. It's okay in very small doses, but if you stay on a Balinese resort they've got it going the whole bloody time. Not that I can afford to stay in a Balinese resort any more, but going back about a dozen years it was possible to stay in a big villa in a very swish resort for about $50 a night and still just about have the resort to yourself (terrorism dampened the enthusiasm for Balinese holidays for a while there).
