Little Miss Sunshine = teh funny. The ending should win an award for "wrongest scene I've had to watch through my fingers that's actually entertaining." I recommend it

Tri-state bird rescue (I think it's www.tristatebird.org). They are a wild bird rehabilitator/research facility and experts in cleaning up oiled birds after oil spills. They were created after a bad oil spill in the 70s & are now pretty much the leading facility that does that kind of work-I think there's one on the West Coast that's similar. Up the Chesapeake Bay, through the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal to New Jersey is a spill-prone area.
Anyhoo. They take in babies that have fallen out of nests, injured adult birds, etc. Most common injury: cat attack. (Cats aren't native species and they do damage to teh birdies.) And they need volunteers to feed & clean them. That's what I do.
The mice are for the raptors. I don't get to play with the raptors yet, I don't have the advanced training. There are also lots of fish for the water birds. They have their own little caged-in pond.

There was a whole conversation about the C&D Canal and what (or what probably) runs through it today at lunch...OIL, that's what got the most votes...I should have said something about the birdies.
Whatever that page is, it started to freeze me up big time. I'll look at it when I don't have teh evil excel and its henchman access up.
What sort of dress code is this thing? And, more importantly, do I get to go shopping for it? And, even more importantly, will I find something in black & white so I can wear my HOT SHOES or will I get to buy another pair of HOT SHOES?
Well, it says "penquin suits optional" So I think that means at least "semi-formal". HOT SHOES entirely appropriate. I was going to actually wear a tuxedo, because I've always wanted to, but well, it might look you know, well, gay... notthattheresanythingwrongwiththat.
Okay, now I have a mental picture of the two of you all dressed up...Kris in her wicked gay tux (nttawwt) and you all glam with your HOT SHOES...you'd be the toast of the bird ball.
Now you both have to at least get dressed up like that so I can take a picture.
I thought Little Miss Sunshine was funny, too. I could barely watch a particular scene as well, but it was funny. I thought it was a nice commentary on "Little Miss" pageants. They were ALL the same, really--she was just more blatant about it. :-D
Excel does nothing to keep the bug population in check, and it doesn't wake me up in the morning with song. It does, however, keep me up at night occasionally. Birds 2 Excel 0.

And why are there trays of dead mice?
