My CB bird is a bare-eyed cockatoo and you usually don’t see them a lot as pets or in videos. Which is why I have to share this one with you. This video features a bare-eyed cockatoo. I only wish my CB had half the rhythm this bird has. Be sure to watch until the end. The steps keep changing.
Our big, wild life
We call him Kodi because he came from Kodiak Island. He’s a Northwestern crow, one of the stars of Bird TLC’s education program. And this Saturday night, if you head over to the Captain Cook Hotel, you’ll be able to see him doing what he does best – accepting cash from all donors to help pay for his fellow birds when they are sick and injured. Hand him a bill – preferably a large one – and he will drop it in the cash jar at his feet. Hand him a worm after that and he will love you forever.
How much sleep do you get
So apparently if you get the right amount of sleep, you’ll weigh less. Hmmm….I’m not sure how much sleep is the right amount for me but since six, seven and eight hours a day hasn’t worked so far, I guess I’ll have to up it to nine hours a day. Geez, a diet I can finally get behind. Maybe the key is that the more your sleep, the less time you have to eat.
Octo mom…really?
Please, oh please America, develop some taste, some discretion, some common decency… stop listening to any news show that has any story about this sick woman. She is mentally ill. We should avert our faces from her attempts to sell her illness and pray for those poor little children who really, if you think about it, don’t stand much of a chance at a good life.
In PFD mourning
It has taken me days to be able to write about the horrible news Alaskans received last week. But now I must face reality. Our dearly beloved PFD check… that which got us all to Hawaii or Mexico or Costco in the fall… is expected to shrink to as little as $68 by 2013. By 2013, I’m thinking that will barely buy a tank of gas… hell, it already barely buys a tank of gas. And at the rate the price of stamps is increasing, it could cost the state more to send the checks than they are worth.
Excuse
My personal opinion
Rush Limbaugh is the biggest buffoon on the face of this earth… and remember, this is an earth that includes Kim Jong Il.
To all cable news pundits… you know who you are
You are not allowed to quote Ayn Rand, her book Atlas Shrugged, or purport to understand her philosophy, unless you can pronounce her first name. And it is not ANN!
Iditarod
I am as big an animal lover as they come. I can’t even watch the movie Bambi because I get hysterical every time the mom dies. So when I say that I think the Iditarod is a great race and a great athletic competition for both humans and dogs, I mean it sincerely and not because I’m an Alaskan. Are there dogs mistreated by bad mushers? Probably. There are dogs mistreated all over this country and world. But that doesn’t make the race or the vast majority of the mushers bad. Most are people who live for their dogs. You
Give foster kids an education
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The state makes a lousy parent. It rarely remembers your birthday and it almost never takes a turn having all the relatives over for the holidays. But if you’re a kid stuck in state custody, it’s often all you have in the way of a parent except maybe for an ever changing cast of foster parents.
This is not a condemnation of the state or its system of caring for children in its custody. Given the resources we are willing to provide for this service, and given the needs of the
Give me a break, Lisa
Not only is Lisa Murkowski intelligent, powerful, beautiful and a size I could only dream about on my best day, but now, while I moan over bruises from falling in the shower while reaching for a towel, she gets to parade around in a wheel chair with bruises from a ski fall on an expert hill…is that about right? Because if it is, she’s really starting to annoy me. Couldn’t she have just slipped in the bathtub?
