Happy Monday everyone. As the evening comes to a close, I thought I'd post a few things that were pretty neat. I love birds. I think they are such amazing creatures. Last week I found this web cam feed and thought it was pretty amazing.
Right now is nesting season for many a winged friend. The two most fascinating ones to me were the eagle and the humming bird. The eagle cam is on 24/7 with infrared cameras for viewing at night. It is sponsored by the Raptor Resource Project in Decorah Iowa. The humming bird cam is also on for 24/7 but may be difficult to view during certain times. It is being hosted by a family in Laguna Beach CA. It is viewable on World of Hummingbirds via USTREAM.TV web site. Please note there is a 30 second or less commercial that will play before the feed starts. Today I had the opportunity to watch in real time both the eagle and the humming birds feeding their chicks! It was way cooler know I was watching the magic as it happened. It was surreal and beautiful. (Not the gross animal parts with the eagle tearing the food though). Hope you like it as much as I did.
Happy Bird watching!

This Made Me Laugh Out Loud - What a deal!
If any of you really know me, you know that I love to laugh a lot. I have a very comedic mind and things make me go "What in the world?" all the time. I've been avoiding putting those moments here for a while, but now, I will let you in on some of the giggles I've been getting this week. (Yes I know the week has only begun, but I see stuff every day).
I was checking my emails today and I had to chuckle. I get notices each day for daily deals on line that are offered by local vendors/business. So far I've seen some really cool ones, like sailing on the SF Bay with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. I even got one that I jumped on for two movie tickets from Fandango for $8.00. Who can resist a $4.00 movie ticket?
Today the email read "Manicure+Facial+Foot Reflexology" with an offering price of $30.00 (a 70% savings). I decided to give it a gander. My standard practice is to open the deal, if I like it, then I will check it out the locale on yelp.com (because I don't like special surprises when I get to a place, especial nail places), and then decide it it's worth my bid. I was unable to get past the heading because the deal had an alternate deal if the mani facial footy thing didn't work. You have the choice to have this package:
"Brazilian Wax and Foot Reflexology" for same cost. WHAT THE.......
I can just hear someone now....you know I really don't need a mani and facial, I need some other stuff attended to. Wish they were offering a Brazilian.....REALLY?
Do they do the waxing and then the reflexology or is it the other way around? How does that work? In any case I have decided to pass on the deal all together. I am just saying.

Enjoy your day and remember to laugh! It makes us live longer and look so much better.
