Nice title, I may use it one day. lol
I love the stories about Cape Canaveral especially the one about the drive in movie. :)
Glad you survived the Hedge Wars and got to spend some time here this evening (((Lady)))
Actually, they at the moment are providing something interesting.
The other day from the kitchen window, one of the many birds who frequent the birdbath and two smaller water bowls on the ground (for the cats, squirrels and many of the birds!) took a drink and then fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Concerned for the crow, thinking he was crippled, I couldn't think of any way to help him. After about 15 minutes, he began to revive and awkwardly hop a little, and then finally was gone.
Remembering a similar happening at Myrtle Beach when I lived there, with robins flopping all over the yard, I realized the cause must be the ripening holly berries!
The robins had feasted on the pyracantha red berries that had fermented, and they were literally drunk..:))
Happens every year.
Same with Mr. Crow, and another one succumbed just yesterday.
