A thing and a thing

I've decided to use subject lines as much as possible, but I suck at them. Kind of like I suck at coming up with titles.

Thing 1: This morning I observed a young woman with words printed across her butt. Now, aside from my reaction of, "Isn't that trend over? That's so 1995," I consciously noticed something that had been poking at my backbrain for

You can get a dung-catcher to put up on your wall. We use it for the swallows if the decide to nest on the house. :)

I'm afraid words-across-the-ass are not merely a relic of the 90s. I remember seeing quite a few instances of it back when I was in college (early '00s).

I think, for what it's worth, it's supposed to look rather trashy.

-->It is succeeding admirably.

I'm sure it was still around in the early 00s, but it started in the 90s, didn't it? I don't see it very much anymore; I thought it was over. I guess this woman didn't get the memo.

Isn't that a Juicy Couture thing? I think they still do that.

A few years ago, I had some pigeons take up residence in my entry way. At first I thought it was wonderful and made sure they had a bird feeder within easy access. Then I discovered the mess that the crap of a whole pigeon family makes. I endured the family until the fledglings were fully fledged and then knocked down the nest. They came back and built another. I knocked that one down and put a board with nails sticking up in the nesting location. They built a nest on top of the nails. I knocked that nest off and added chicken wire around every possible point of entry to their nesting area. Somehow they got in and built another nest.

I had just given up hope and resigned myself to living with a huge pile of bird crap in my entry way when one day I went outside and saw one of the pigeons lying on the ground... decapitated. I later discovered that was my cat's MO. The pigeons never returned. I've had a special fondness for my kitty ever since.

I fully expect to be calling maintenance to try again. The nest seems to be under the a/c, between the window and the support boards stacked on the brick outer-sill. It's very secure, except for the part where it's right outside a human's window!
