On duty during thunderstorm
Mama and Papa Dove are most earnest, changing shifts around dawn and dusk each day.
Shift Change
Both parents are into the Olympics, as they can see the TV along with me. They were way more impressed by the opening ceremonies than I was, although clearly amused by those flying contraptions in which humans pitifully tried to imitate birds. They seem most intrigued with the trampoline event but, as I am, fed up with volleyball.

Best wishes to the prospective family.
Watching Candy Crowley interview Lindsay Graham. How does a politician lie with a totally straight face? Are the talking points so specifically worded so as to provide “I’m not sociopathic or completely delusional” wiggle room?
Sunday Sublime.
Cheryl is picking music for her choirs, including a medley from ‘West Side Story’. Had forgotten just how marvelous it was. Enjoy!
Rancid Prehistoric, Gooper Chairperson was on Snuffy’s show and really poor sad republicans..and now the people representing the goops are Ann Coulter and George Will
lol
Even ABC admitted that Romney is behind in every battleground state and needs something
some party insiders are suggesting big and bold -rubio or paul ryan
I thought he poo pooed big and bold I wonder what McCain has to say about this and also someone needs to ask the big prick
Ann Coulter is insane — still
Now I’m starting to think Snuffy has them on to make the Republicans look ridiculous
I startled a whole flock of doves hanging out on the blacktop just yon side of the bridge this morning--they took reproachful looks at the dumba** herding the electric blue monster as they lifted off. I sort of think bad weather must be coming; the doves weren’t the only ones gathering in and looking anxious--
Hope you don’t have cats in the neighborhood, Craig. The only reason Blackadder doesn’t make a steady diet of fresh bird is he’s never figured out how to pluck them--
PS I love this post. But then, I’m getting more apolitical with every passing day--
I think a dove break is a good idea.
We are having bloody marys and grilled cheeses for brunch

to curiosity! rove on, rover!
If I can stay awake gonna try to watch Mars rover land tonight (around 1:30am ET) in case anyone wants to join me. I’ll put up a new thread with live stream about 6pm to get the party started.
I might even make a tin foil hat for the occasion (altho maybe not, Reynolds Wrap is now $11 a roll).

Don’t you think those geniuses at NASA could have thought to put a payload of thistle seeds or something on that rover and try to start building an atmosphere?! Isn’t that the point?!?! Put me in charge of NASA, goddamnit.
Ha, Ignoble, if we put you in charge of NASA the aliens would get REALLY nervous. I like it!
The aliens would rejoice, Mr. Crawford.
Hey, I sure wish there was more Water Polo coverage by NBC. What an intriguing, athletic chess-game that is, “Water Polo”. Thank God it’s on the TV every time I turn it on, because I can’t get enough Water Polo, and apparently NBC got the memo.
The indexing of the 1940 US Census has been completed. I have full access to Ancestry, so if anyone wants me to look up someone, let me know.
“The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands.”
