Out with the OLD and In with the NEW

We finally took the plunge and bought a flat screen monitor. As you can see, the old one was huge, probably 18 w x 15 h x 24 deep. (I didn't measure it.) It was a monster, but we need a large screen for MOTH who has one eye that doesn't work properly. We have had the old one for quite a few years and it was getting so fuzzy that even I had to sit about 6" away from the screen in order to read a page of normal size text.

You can just imagine how much more space we now have on our desk! All the more space to fill up with more papers! And I thought computers were going to bring in a paperless society!

ODDMENT

When birds sit so near and pose so beautifully, they think they're begging for food -- but actually they are begging to have their photograph taken, especially if there is a blogger around.


This one I think is a juvenile cowbird. It doesn't have its brown head yet and it doesn't have the white eye of the grackle. But you can just see the green sheen on it. Anyway whatever it is, they congregate in great numbers around our shopping malls.

I hope to have a post of just Bailey, doing some thing interesting next week -- that's 'interesting', as opposed to sleeping and eating. I've been trying, but that 'red eye' beast ( I don't mean Bailey), doesn't cooperate even though the camera and the computer program says it is on. But he is appropriate for Halloween, I suppose.
