§ Puff....

On Saturday, thru Ebird, a notice of a rare [Tundra] duck was sighted in our Bay waters!! So, Sunday morning, I took a drive to the area to see if I could spot it! No luck, as the ducks on the water were so far away, even with binoculars I couldn't decipher which duck was which, and my tripod and scope were at home...100s of them. Not to mention birders galore from all walks of life galivanting around in hopes of seeing the rarity themselves. I still walked some along the shore and along the Naval Air Station Road. Then hopped back in the car when it began to get mighty warm out there in the sun [83⁰F before noon!] and drove to another park to finish my day's step count....

I encountered a few wildflowers and as I turned to get to the pathway, a dead tree made its appearance and from where I stood on the park's lawn, I saw a fire breathing dragon?!!!

Monday Morsels

Yesterday in my Sunday's Summary section, I was 'talking' about my future book reads....ironic. So, I got an email from Jeff Dunham [I signed up for and requested to be notified if he'd return to Corpus Christi with another comedy show]. He stated, or advertised, his upcoming new autobiography that is going to be on the shelves the first week of November of this year. Bud? Are you listening to me? Ahem....a Christmas gift under the tree for me? *hint* Anyway, there was a link with a couple of excerpts from his new book. I don't think it'll hurt any, or infringe on copyright issues if I share. It IS helping promote sales for him, right? I love the guy's performances to almost being a fanatic. Especially with Achmed and Peanut!! The book is called "All By My Selves". In case you didn't know, Jeff is a ventriloquist. And his shows are super funny. Not to mention, Bud has a little bit of Walter in him. It will definitely be one to read. I highly anticipate it....hope it's as good as his Comedy Central, and his live shows! If not, I'll be sorely disappointed.
