I've been hearing a load squawking out on the feeding board, and I spotted a couple of blue jays through the little strained glass window on my door. I knew they would split if I opened the door, so I took this photo through the glass.

It's a good enough shot to show the cool markings on their backs, with a great tail. The feeding board on my porch and the hanging feeder have drawn some beautiful birds to my little place.

Speaking of birds, I haven't missed a morning with my ducks and mister goose, since I started feeding them in the Park months ago. We now have a special spot at the dock, and they expect me there between 0815 and 0830.

Last night I went to bed with a clear head, and the tremors in my legs, and the cramps in my upper back, caused me to research the difference between Assisted Living and Hospice, when I stumbled out of bed this morning.

I'm a very independent old man, and I don't want to end up in either of those situations. But what if I can't maintain that independence?

I have also decided to stop sending Blog updates out to my very few family and friends!

Instead of subjecting my newest Posts to them via Text, they can drop by when and if they're interested. It's the way it should be!

I know, I have said this before, but then I feel the need to share, and perhaps find some understanding or validation in my words. This has to stop, now.

I can't count how many times I have written a gut wrenching Post, only to wake up the next morning thinking what the hell did I write last night!, and then trash it. If I don't send out the link, the odds that people will end up on my Sorry page, will decline.

I'll keep on blogging, it's in my blood after decades, but this is my last Text update...
