Would a salmon do?<br /><br />Briony: I have noticed that they eat rather daintily. Olga wolfs food down almost immediately, in huge gulps. But foxes seem to be nibblers.<br /><br />Sabine: Exactly!<br /><br />E: Sad but true.<br /><br />Ms Moon: Some epic shits are insulated from the effects of their bad behavior by their money. As for Chris and Linda, you know how sometimes you find yourself in a social pattern that's hard to get out of? Actually, they're not that bad, but I overdosed on Sunday.<br /><br />Robin: That's what I thought was so impressive -- Tina Brown wrote that 24 years ago!!<br /><br />Edna: Well, they're really not that bad. They're nice people. I just had enough of them on Sunday.<br /><br />Ellen: Some people, when presented with evidence of their wrong-thinking, reflexively dig in deeper. I think it's something to do with feeling vulnerable and fighting back. Trump people do this too!<br /><br />Sharon: I know -- that's what's so interesting. The guy used to work for a newspaper and yet his thinking is completely inflexible. Maybe he was more open to suggestion when he was younger.<br /><br />Padre: Isn't it funny how a relatively small mistake can be so frustrating? What annoys me isn't that he called Olga "he" one time -- it's that he does it OVER AND OVER even though we pointedly say "she" when we respond back. It's like the guy has no ears.<br /><br />Jennifer: Yeah, it's hard to explain without revealing too much personal info about Chris and Linda. Suffice to say they've had a difficult time over the past decade or so and we've tried to treat them gently. And honestly, they're fine in small doses. Hosting them just proved a little too taxing for me.<br /><br />Catalyst: The camera uses infra-red, so there's no visible light. It's pretty amazing, actually!<br /><br />37P: Yes, one and the same! (And once and forever.)<br /><br />Linda Sue: Well, to give Linda credit, she did offer to help clean up, but I'd rather do it myself!<br /><br />John: LOL -- I know! They're sort of bizarre, aren't they? I was surprised to find another one!<br /><br />Jenny-O: Linda doesn't take it well. They get very plainly annoyed at each other. It's a little uncomfortable, actually! Yeah, the fox is definitely on red alert -- I'm sure it knows there's a dog at this house.<br /><br />Red: You mean like DONALD TRUMP?! LOL<br /><br />Allison: I told Dave we all need to go to a restaurant from now on!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-10355414758708355552020-01-14T00:23:27.753+00:002020-01-14T00:23:27.753+00:00I love the term "epic shit."

It's a little heartbreaking how fast the fox eats, clearly uneasy and on full alert. He/she looks in good shape, though, which is comforting.

May you never do it again. I'm curious about the fox video. Does a light come on when they enter the area and, if so, why doesn't it frighten them away? And the Tina story about Boris is a keeper.
