Then I found the main front page section was about 20 pages, the sports section about 8 pages, and the comics 4 pages. All the rest was ads. Not much content at all.
The front page did cover the event I was at this weekend. I talked at length this afternoon with the woman in the photo and learned a lot about raptors.
She had this really cool Eurasia eagle-owl on display while we were talking. At first I thought he was stuffed like several other raptors on display, but his head moved a tiny bit which I caught out of the corner of my eye and startled me (I wasn't expecting the stuffed owl to come alive). He exhibited great flight or fight posture when a little dachshund walked by on a leash. He goes into an alert posture, gets about an inch taller, and his feathers all smoothed down ready for flight.
I no wonder return you to your regularly scheduled discussion of the Infinite Dark and Fetid Swamp Sedition and Corruption.
Thank you.
FR needs, for the refreshment of the spirit, a weekly Bird Thread (akin to the Weekly Cooking or Weekly Gardening Thread).
