The upside-down bird

Actually it's a nuthatch. This guy likes to eat his lunch this way. The little bluish-grey and white bird with a sharp beak is a frequent visitor to many Bluffton bird feeders. To view all home page feature photo from The Icon click here.

All I wanted was a day-old roll from the bakery

All I wanted was a one-day-old roll from The Dough Hook.

But, it became much more complicated than that last Saturday. Complicated for several reasons. For starters, I forgot to take my pills, so I stopped into Common Grounds for a quick jolt. Was planning on informing Phil Zimmerly that his chamber renewal was up.

Being the end of the month he and one other guy started moaning about bills due on the 31st. So, I kept my mouth shut.
