Crows are interesting birds. A group of them is called a 'murder'. There are a lot of superstitions and folklore regarding them. They love to hang out in cemeteries. Come to find out it is because there are large open areas and...

koopharper I was on a walk with my youngest son near the train station in town. There was a crow on the roof making some strange noises. I talk to crows all the time. I said, "You're making some strange noises up there." It looks down and clear as a bell says, "Hello". I...

I don't watch football as closely as I used to. But I am still a San Francisco 49ers fan "in the background." I am glad that the 49ers wide receiver, who was shot in a robbery attempt here, is going to be OK. Have you ever been...

koopharper Glad he is going to be alright. Been a 49er fan since the early Joe Montana days. Hope he makes a full recovery quickly.

We went to a choir concert last night. They were three a cappella groups but one guy used a microphone to provide percussive sounds just with his mouth and lips. Some of the people were in several of the choirs. Our niece’s...

koopharper @JudyEv She plays violin. The only public performance she has played in recent times is special music at church. She played a violin/flute duet with my wife.

My whittling skills are somewhat limited. Whittling a full-size wooden chicken is beyond my capabilities and wood budget. So I came up with a plan. I whittled half a dozen chicken eggs. Does anyone here know how long it takes to...

koopharper Biggest skill is patience. I really don't think I'm all that good. I just keep at it till I'm happy with it.

Well Boy Howdy! It's already the 26th of August! Have you set your T&A goal for MyLot this month? I won't lie: with my knee injured, I have made fewer pool visits, and spent NO time cycling or hiking. That means more time on...

I submit for your consideration the possibility that cats may be capable of feeling contrition. Yesterday morning, I was stumbling toward Kitty's food bowl with a handful of dry kitty food in my hand. Kitty walked directly in...

koopharper They definitely feel guilt or the cat equivalent. Dookie and Dutchess will both do something they know to be wrong, get in trouble, and then try to make amends. They are cats though and seem to be able to get over it pretty quickly.

What I first joined MyLot, payout was $10 and tags were popular on MyLot posts. I can't even remember how many years ago I joined. I think tags made "relevant posts" appear to the right of our MyLot screen, but that those...

koopharper Had to do a little research to figure out when I joined myLot. It was May of 2009. I lost access to my first account and rejoined in 2011. I have used tags on discussions but I don't think ever on comments. Not sure I've seen any difference in responses.

koopharper Someone suggested I sell them for Easter. I'm not sure that would be as lucrative as all that. I tend to avoid making religious items as a whole anyway.

koopharper They are. The wood is Swamp Alder. I've said before that it is really underrated. It is one of the easier to carve hardwoods available to me.

koopharper It doesn't happen often if their feed and housing are good. Sometimes something goes wrong and eggs get broken in the nest. The chicken will clean up the mess but might like the extra protein. Then they can start breaking them on purpose and eating them.
