Annabeth was apparently lost in Hurricane Sandy, Lulabelle was swallowed by the floods of North Texas, and my source from Down Under, Deep Nostrils, told me that Chosun Juan was eaten by a croc that had a similie face painted on its back (poetic justice, that one). We have Gilmore Girl (still not sure if she's Lorelai or Rory) and there's one other female member (besides our moderator) who I've seen recently on these forums, but I can't remember her username. The only time the females came out en masse is during bin giveaway contests. I hope we do get more women on here for two reasons: (1) to get their perspective on bins (e.g., faux ostrich coverings, fashionable or call the Fashion Police?), and (2) because men tend to act like more civilized when women are around. That was true in the co-ed dorm where I lived in college. My original dorm in East Halls was all male and the guys acted like the characters in Animal House, but when I moved to the co-ed dorms of North Halls, guys minded their ps and qs and didn't run around in their underwear or throw water-filled condoms out the window. I agree about interesting stuff happening in my backyard. Today, I finally caught both of Gray Kitty's kittens. I was using canned kitty food (Fancy Feast) to catch them, but they wouldn't bite. Like their mother, they prefer real chicken, so I put some chicken in the cages this morning, and within an hour I had both captured. A woman I know who used to work for animal rescue came to pick them up, so I won't have to take care of them over the weekend, which is good because I've gotten so far behind in my writing from checking the cages every hour that I have to work this weekend.Gray Kitty no doubt misses her babies, so I put two stuffed animals under the shed to keep her company.  Hope you get to do some birdwatching over the weekend (can't remember if you are a day ahead or behind on the other side of the pond). Mmm.. now shall I use the HT or SF? The differences are so subtle, I think I'll flip a coin... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Brock</blockquote>
