A wonderful home built nest by one of the local birds earlier this season. Amazing work and skills for nest-making.
The good news here is that the new feeder made the fall with 0% damage other than the screws breaking off the round base mount. New mount will be designed to fail easily/repair easily. The bear just keeps winning!! And the little bugger did not even eat all of the bird food that fell to the ground!!

TODAY'S "BLOOD DANCERS"
A good friend of the family recently referred to all those who are screaming for gun control as "Blood Dancers." Recent shootings bring all of this to a high boil and their immediate ranting is as dependable as the sun coming up tomorrow. Even that can change, but for now, will go with that analogy.
"Blood Dancers" gathered at the Concord State Capital to protest earlier this week. Signs demanding the governor "do something", all ululating and maybe showing a little jazz hands to make their point. Our governor vetoed three gun bills late last week and the long knives will be out until the Progressives attempt their override next month. So the fight continues.
There will never be any compromise and "the left" will never end their constant attack on half of America until we are hunted down one by one. And I thought The Hunger Games and Divergent were just fantasy movies. Total and complete government control over the people with some added sport for the ruling tribe. We might just want to take them at the word.
My lying eyes and ears have so many questions. Politicians are publishing target lists these days. Again, my lying eyes and ears. And do not think that these kinds of open threats are only on the news or net. They are happening to folks in little old home towns of America as I write. Open season on conservative thinking, the Constitution, law-abiding gun ownership and damn near everything, everywhere we look.
There are hard lessons ahead for all of us and I fear that our Americana may be lost forever. Hard to fathom; hard to fathom!
So what to do over the next 15 months? A good question.
Do I worry each day away? Will I comply? Will I sit back and be a victim? Do I hide in the past 75 years of my life? Add another hundred questions here.
I/we think, we do worry, we act as best we can while living a life, we read, we learn, we shore up more without going crazy, we eat better, we work life skills as simple as being able to walk farther each day, we lose weight, stay close to family/friends and for sure, find something to laugh and joke about each day.

Weekly
news explosions erase last week's news. Fifteen months till the next
election and folks polling zero want to lead our country in the
years to follow. The Socialism Platform is what they have to run
on. Open hatred for our current president, our history, the
law-abiding citizen, the wanton general taking of all of our rights,
excessive taxing of incomes and destroying health care of every
American citizen in the name of being "fair for all". Bernie and
his tribe of fists-in-the-air or flailing-hand speeches cannot
hide, nor do they wish to, their real life death march into
Socialism for all of us.
Added to all of this is the declarative open season on middle America
and any means to destroy, including open violence.
There are hard lessons ahead for all of us and I fear that our Americana may be lost forever. Hard to fathom; hard to fathom!
