I'm not sure why any of us should be rankled. Robt. Burns in "Ode to a Louse" said, " Ah, to see ourselves as others see us." I'm more informed and reminded than rankled. The article, like the recent discourse about mode of dress on the listserve was informative and amusing, not irritating. I waved my bandana at the screen, stomped my hiking boots on the floor, and twirled my cap in the air as I snorted and roared. I have been thinking about upscaling my wardrobe. Saw a pink camo jacket and almost sprung for it. But, just as [The Lady] won't dish the dirt with the other girls and won't go to Harlem in diamonds and pearls, this tramp just can't wear pink, purple, bright red, yellow or white in the field. See y'all out there when this white stuff is under control--or maybe I'll head for California, even though it's cold and it's damp... The Carolina Wren, Red-breasted Nuthatch, juncos, White-throated Sparrows, Downy, Red-bellied, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Flicker were all here well before 8 a.m. today. Some of you must have really lazy birds or they are feeding first down the street, then hitting your place for brunch.
