Baby Monkey Anyone?

Still Bird Watching
Not that I want to catch any bird flu or anything, but aren't birds just the most interesting creatures? Especially here in Florida. You never know what kind of bird may attract your attention. Back in Oklahoma I routinely took my wee ones to see the "honk-honk buddies"--our name for ducks at a local pond. Like Florida, they had grown so accustomed to having people around they were quite tame and enjoyed the attention. Now I'm stuck on wild (not all that wild actually) turkeys and blue herons. Cranes. Last Friday I was able to walk right up to this fellow and he let me take his picture. I was no more than two feet from him. He was most obliging. I think I'll name him Percy.
Stolen
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching." Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

Goodbye Wilma
Lucy watching Wilma.
Still stannding. We were lucky enough to only have 50-60 mhp winds from 6am to around 10am. It was too windy to drive. But, no tornadoes.
Backyard flooding. No totals on St Cloud rain, but it's close to 5 inches, they think.

Deceivingly Beautiful

Watching Wilma
We're hoping we don't have to put up the plywood because the AC is on the fritz. Although after seeing what the Gulf states have endured this year, surely Florida has missed a few bullets. Is it our turn again? So soon? I guess we'll find out on Monday now.

From the Drudge Report
MIERS FOUND CHRIST, TURNED REPUBLICAN
By 1979, Harriet Miers, then in her mid-30s, had accomplished what some people take a lifetime to achieve. She was a partner at Locke Purnell Boren Laney & Neely, one of the most prestigious law firms in the South. But she still felt something was missing in her life. The NEW YORK TIMES is set to splash the "something" on Page Ones on Wednesday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT. It was after a series of long discussions with Nathan Hecht, a junior colleague and sweetheart, that led her to a decision that many of the people around her say changed Miers life. "She decided that she wanted faith to be a bigger part of her life," Hecht said. "One evening she called me to her office and said she was ready to make a commitment," to accept Jesus Christ as her savior and be born again, Hecht said. Miers became an evangelical Christian and began identifying more with the Republican Party than with the Democrats who had long held sway over Texas politics.
