My dog doesn't like birds on our lawn. She'd eat this thing once it landed. She's a very good girl.

No birds in my neighborhood. Too many people feed feral cats.
But I did find three bluebird feathers. 
I admire the shrouded lift system and docking procedure, though.

Normally I refrain from shooting cats, on account of too many mice.

Cats are kind of a mixed bag, considering Ioxoplasma Gondii and all.
I just posted this in the climate postmortem thread. Greta Thunberg should have taken a jet.
In other news....
3 year old republican vs democratic dad!!
Elections are all about disappointment, aren't they?

Autonomous security drones are exactly what I envision for the future. There will be zero stolen jetskis in my future that go unprosecuted.

I don't vote, follow news or politics, or depend on people in Washington to wipe my tuchus, so disappointment is nearly impossible. Delight probable though.

Some small dog breeds are quite good at hunting vermin too. It doesn't seem to apply to my spoiled dog though. |

Just dropping a marker here.
I remain convinced that the last loser's downfall began when she invoked Pepé The Frog from her podium during a Presidential debate. Unaware of teh Powers she unleashed.
In this debate JB invoked the Proud Boys, and demanded a disavowal. All across the land people who haven't heard about anything except 100 days of riots with burning businesses, cities and forests thought to themselves, "Who are the Proud Boys?"
To quote the afro-cubano-American Enrique Tarrio — the Proud Boys International Lead, " We're a drinking club with a political problem."
