I forgot my peeps update until sternly reprimanded on the tweeter:
WHERE IS YOUR BIRD POST FOR TODAY
— Cheryl Rofer (@CherylRofer) May 30, 2018
But here you go:
They don’t even fit in the nest anymore!
BTW- Lily had her chemo appt today, but I have been feeling like shit and not in the mood to do anything but gripe on twitter so I will fill you all in tomorrow. She’s doing great!

So all caps does work on John? I’ll make a note of that.

@Mary G: So “boids”….
To quote a favorite poem by Mason Williams (Classical Gas)
Void is da woid
Dat voids da woid
By being da woid
Dat voids it
Such is my memory of poetry. He had a book called Flavors.

One last thing in my good news day:
MomSense
Thank you, John! Glad Lily is doing well. Hope you feel better, too.
Matt McIrvin
@Mary G: Is this good? Or is it just an indication that Democrats are concentrating in California, nullifying most of their political power in national elections?
Cheryl Rofer
I love those little wispy feather haloes. I wasn’t convinced they were house finches, but their stripes are beginning to show.
Thanks, John.

@Matt McIrvin:
I say that probably means that Republican membership in California has steadily declined to the point that they are a third party, after having completely discredited themselves.
Mary G
@Matt McIrvin: We are leading. The rest of the nation can follow or not as they choose, but they often do. I didn’t read it yet, but the New Yorker has an article on how the teachers’ strike is reviving the Democratic Party in Oklahoma. There are Democratic cities all over the country and the rural population is declining. Trump is trying to delay the demographic shift, but that train has left the station as far as I can tell.

They’re getting so big! You’re going to have an empty nest pretty soon. Hope you get some photos and/or video of them using the Bird Slide 3000.
And go Lily! She’s the best. Did she get a new bow this time?
@Cheryl Rofer: Thanks for bugging John for the bird photo. I see he does love ALL CAPS, just like people say.
Raoul
Really glad Lily is doing well! Good night, all.

@Mary G:
Mind linking to that article? Sounds interesting and is welcome news
Aleta
They’re funny. Packed into their nest, secure but awareness widening.

The babies are getting so big ???
Thanks for the update Cole.

@Matt McIrvin: No, it means that Republicans in California are re-registering as “no party preference”.
seaboogie
@Matt McIrvin: Well, in that we are the sixth – now reporting fifth – largest economy in the whole fucking world, it’s worth paying attention to what is happening here. So expensive to live here – and I am just hanging in – and so happy to be in this place!
To paraphrase – California, Fuck Yeah!!
CA has a “Victims of Violent Crime” fund that will help to pay my $1K bill for having the door locks replaced on my car after an armed robbery in my workspace. Plus some therapy.
Wish our Guv were younger and wanted to be president. But he flat knows how to govern this state. Oh hai, Missou…wassup wit you?
?BillinGlendaleCA
@seaboogie:
He did want to be President when he was younger, he ran in 1992.
M. Bouffant
@Matt McIrvin: Thinking/hoping it’s semi-reasonable Republicans deciding not to register as Rs any more.
Also, many of the drooling idjits are fleeing the state. “Taxes!! Furriners!! AAAAAAGGGGH!!”
seaboogie
@?BillinGlendaleCA: Okay. I mean now.
M. Bouffant
@?BillinGlendaleCA: Ran in ’76 too. I actually changed my registration from no party pref. to Dem. so I could vote for him in the primary against Carter.

@Mary G: I was called by a special education teacher here (OK) who is a:democrat running for state representative. She said she’s doing it for her students; they lack supplies snd support because of poor education funding by the legislature.

I for one, had faith that Cole would come through.
Thanks for beautiful chixpix.
“They don’t even fit in the nest anymore!”
They look snug and having fun, and fit just as well as they should. Trust the birdies, Cole. Calm down.
Thanks for good update on Lily and hope Cole feels better.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@jl: The question is, what will happen to Cole once the birds grow up and fly away? It doesn’t look that may be too far away.
NotMax
@BillinGlendaleCA
Mitigate his post parting depression by scarfing down copious amounts of Peeps, of course.
;)
?BillinGlendaleCA
@NotMax: Now that’s just sick and demented, I’d expect no less from you Not Max.?
Arclite
LOL @ Cheryl
Aleta
@?BillinGlendaleCA: He might like a surprise box of mail order ducklings.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@Aleta: I’ll ask Alexa.
Planetpundit
Great news about Lily. THANKS, JOHN!!!
jl
@?BillinGlendaleCA: Cole can rig the ratty used nest and his birdy rescue net into a hammock, since his pets always hog up his reclining space.

@Mary G:
Actually, I think only Cheryl looks fierce enough to get away with it.

Birds look like they have little wreaths on their heads. They look healthy, for sure.
J.
Sigh. They grow up so fast.
No Drought No More
Train those birds correctly, Cole, and they’ll go Alfred Hitchcock on anyone you point a finger at..
No Drought No More
Charles Pierce tweets: “Ontology Wednesday:
Up here, a whole bunch of roosters were “rescued” from a cockfighting ring.
They are scheduled to be euthanized.
Question — can you really say they were “rescued” if you’re going to kill them anyway?”.
Cole: Let it be on your head if these birds are killed. You’ve got plenty of room in that big yard of yours. And as of now, you know. The whole world is watching..
