Hi all,
In our community about three miles from our house there is a state park. This spring they have a real interesting link showing two bald eagles and their nest that currently has two eggs in it. The link has gotten fairly popular and I even saw it on weather.com this morning. It is however local to me and my family:

Hope everyone enjoys!

Two eggs? Just one more and there will be enough for a decent omelette!
[edit: Aaaah! I had the live feed running in another window and just as I was posting the flippant remark above the bird turned and gave me a really dirty look! How did it know?]
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

You horrible human being!

I know, I know. Sorry, but it is only since I came to live in the US that I became this horrible person! When I lived in Europe I knew I would only need two eggs for an omelette; only Americans use three with their excessive portion sizes!

Three eggs for an omelet? Are you very poor? In America it takes six eggs to make a decent single person omelet.
OK, I am getting my coat, ducking and heading back to South Africa!

Six to eight quail eggs sounds about right, yes.
Now, how much bald-eagle eggs is that? And why are we talking about eggs when we can have the bird?

That is an eggsageration.

Yeah! Give him the bird!

I guess you are used to making an omelette for one person with six ostrich eggs!

Forget it; California Condor not only makes better omelettes, but tastier kabobs, as well. A bit like Spotted Owl, and none of the fishy after taste of Bald Eagle. Neither are a match for tenderized baby Harp Seal, of course, but I don't think they're in season yet.

I'll have to try that after the swan soup appetizer!

Clearly the bald eagle has access to the NSA's surveillance program and was alerted to your threat. Even in jest, lessons must be taught. The drone is likely on its way as we speak.

Here in the USA we changed the clocks yesterday (Sunday) morning for some ridiculous reason.
Does anyone else get jet-lag when this happens?
Why do we do this? In the modern world of electric light and automatic milking machines, what's the point?

Yeah, I'm dragging a bit today. I've have no clue as to why we still do this.

No, it does not faze me one bit.

I read that Dilbert.
What was the baby thinking? Can you explain? I'm a little confused about it, really.

What every baby does and every man wants, but I can't tell you about it in the lounge...

Think...think...think...oh me of little brain.
If I only had a brain.
Maybe this is one of the British jokes I never understand because they use some term like flat or liederhosen or something? I just don't get them jokes from across the pond.

I'm from the Netherlands, and this one's quite universal.
Anyway, just look at whatever the baby is looking at, it might dawn on you...

Nope. I've found I can move around within about 3 time zones without effect - its the trips to Europe that wipe me out. It takes me about 1 day per hour difference to acclimate once there. Oddly when I return I acclimate after the first night.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

It is so you won't have to use those electric lights as much in the evening.
Also, I is hard to work out in the yard with electric lights, so I like having daylight savings time go into effect.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Maybe there is a compromise here and we could start moving it forward / back just 30 minutes instead of a complete hour?
I think I just came up with a Genius-Solution which I am patenting and selling to the government immediately!!!
