I made a huge pot of American Chop Suey, aka beef-a-roni for the football game yesterday.

Wtf? That looks goofy.

This morning there have been quite a few birds in the yard and especially in the bird bath where they have been splashing around in rain water. A few minutes ago I looked up because I heard a thud on the window and saw several birds streaking by. I went to the front door worried that one had hit the window. There was a little house finch laying on its side that was alive but stunned and maybe injured. Just as I put my hand on the doorknob to check it out, a small hawk -- probably of the short-shinned variety -- swooped down and flew off with the finch in its talons. It was very startling, but I'm assuming the finches had been fleeing the hawk in the first place. #WildKingdom

RIP to Christopher Tolkien, the famous son of a more famous father, and Rocky Johnson, the famous father of a more famous son. Each of them brought me a lot of entertainment in my youth. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/01/16/books/christopher-tolkien-dead.amp.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/01/15/sports/rocky-johnson-dead.amp.html
