Land of Ice III

Here's some cool pics I took when leaving work when it was really icy. Ice looks pretty but it hurts (as you can tell from the tree).

Land of Ice - II

Not sure what type of tree this is (first pic) but most of them in our subdivision look like this after the ice got a hold of them...

The second pic is one of my neighbor's trees.

Land of Ice

Just a few of the many amazing sights our recent weather has afforded us

upload yours before it melts!

bird buddy

This is my "little" buddy who lives at a house where I clean the windows. He's not much of a talker (more a squawker) but he does have one trick where he hangs from his beak and then extends a claw through the cage to 'shake' your hand. He is a Hyacinth Macaw, which is the largest of the flying parrots. He has a wingspan of almost 4 feet and he is over 3 feet long. He also has a beak that is powerful enough to easily break open coconuts and cut steel bars so it is kind of a bit scary to let such a big bird hold your finger. Additional info and pics here

15 gallons of butter?? Is that necessary??

They also have an on site Heart Surgeon and you get a free quarterly cholesterol check! :-D

Really though...ever heard of fruit, yogurt or oatmeal?

Stupid canadian pigeon...

Yep...pretty disgusting. While minding my own business and taking a little break from shopping in Montreal...sitting on a ledge outside a store, a crazed canadian racing pigeon dropped a bomb on my knee. One of the employees notified us that said pigeons nail 5-10 people PER DAY in front of the store! Is it too much to ask to post a warning sign or something?!?!

So it's not a myth?

A rare sight indeed! Should we expect Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster next?

We took this pic on the way back from Michigan near Shipshewana.

I wonder if telling chicks that you drive the weiner mobile for Oscar Myer is a plus or minus? If you put it on your resume, would that guarantee that you won't get the job, or does it inspire confidence that you can handle embarrasing tasks? How big do you figure the gas tank is on this thing... like, does the weiner serve as a giant reserve too or is that just sleeping quarters for the 'lucky' driver?

This is what an 80' cottenwood looks like after being hit by an F-Zero tornado
