Fagalo is sleeping in the house I made for him, rather than the squashed flat by rain cardboard "box" he had been living in. I cut out a door in a plastic flower pot, filled it with hay, put a plastic bag over the top to cover the holes, and put his moldy grass over the top of that for cover. At least he knows how to cooperate!

The pesky truck-nesting house wrens despise the $25 house I bought for them.

Oh, Floyd.... oh dear, dear Floyd.....

(think I'm gonna be sick)

Totally sick about Floyd. Just crazy.

We needed some good news in cycling.

Maybe it's not true...

I still don't believe it about Tyler either. He spent so much money trying to clear his name...

It does kind of make me wonder if pro cyclists are kind of stupid. Hello guys - you are going to get caught if you use any performance enhancing drugs. So just knock it off.

Hmmm... testosterone... performance enhancing...

Oh, man, how I hope it's not doping.

Thanks for all the hummingbird pictures and stories. I am finishing up a work shift. Through the morning I've smiled thinking about hummingbirds being described as "pugnacious", and the fact that their hovering in your face is to say, "Get out of my territory".

I picture a hummingbird hovering there, saying, "C'mon! Bring it! This is my territory! You want a piece of me?!" etc.

Now I like them even more than before! Make me think of those little tiny warriors in the Golden Compass series. Gallvespians? Something like that. Home to beddy-bye.

When I lived in California (worst year of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) we had a greenhouse, actually several, and grew cactus, and other things, and there were hummingbirds there. They did a lot of threatening. Cute little guys!

Seriously - what are they thinking???? I really hope this isn't true about Floyd. We DO need some positive cycling news. It seems like positive cycling news gets tainted with some quip about doping - even if it is totally unrelated to the story.
