Steve and Judy's Travels!

 

Sitting at a bird blind, thinking I was watching birds like these American robins

 

 

and cedar waxwings,

 

 

out of the forest pops a gray fox!

 

He trots over to the water feature,

 

hops right up,

 

 

and gets a nice long drink.

 

Finished, off he goes back into the scrub.

 

 

 

 

 

Excited wild turkeys.

 

 

Wild turkeys with issues.

 

 

 

 

 

Puzzle.  999.

 

Puppy.  1.

 

Now we’re at Choke Canyon State Park.

 

 

 

Going to go a little farther north tomorrow and hang out around San Antonio for a few days.

 

 

 

 

But this puzzle; every piece almost fits even if it doesn’t.  When a remaining spot has pieces on three or four sides, but none of the ones remaining fit, it’s time to re-examine our “progress” and find the piece that fooled us.  We’ve been through that cycle several times already.

 

When all the shuffling is done, we’ll have the final tally of how many pieces the puppy actually ate.  We know it’s a number larger than zero.

 

 

It was not normal.  It was fresh.  I listened to it again on YouTube.

That got me to thinking about Lady Gaga’s version for the Inauguration.

Then I landed on this video; a moment-to-moment analysis of her version.  I loved what she did but didn’t know why.  This guy explained it to me.
