View from a Kleenex box

While it's not over completely, at least Geoff and I were able to continue our Parental duties today.

Why didn't I get a flu shot this year? WHY???

I managed to get out to the drug store for more Theraflu
(Really good stuff.... 10% alcohol...wheee!)

Lorelei and I found something we have been looking for, and it helped to boost my mood:

Antlers and red nose
Antlers and a red nose for the car.
Yep. I've become one of those people. But I think it's cute. Don't you?
Best part...it was on sale.


Oh...and here's my newest bumper sticker:
This car guarded by attack screech owl
I wonder if non-birders will get the joke?

And room for more

Having a roomy car is a luxury for me. Aside from a big Dodge pick-up truck, my cars have been four-door sedans. Fine for a family, but a bit tricky with big birds in big carriers.

The new car is just so nice. I can pack birds and kids and still have room for more.

Empty car:
Hatch
The cargo area has this neat cargo cover, so if you don't want everyone to see what you are carrying, you can cover it up!
And a very useful net to either tie down big stuff, or to help your groceries stay where you want them:

And a car full of birds and paraphernalia:
Full Car
The back seat is empty, so I could still have three kids in there. Or two normal-sized adults.
Or three malnourished adults....


I have a long program tomorrow and I will be bringing perches and all the indoor stuff I need for a presentation. Gone are the days when I have to drive a car around that looks like this:

Packed car RAPTOR

Hard to take a deep breath when you are up to your armpits in birds, a box of dead things, a poop tarp, a cart, perches, a purse......

Yippee! Susan can breathe again!
