Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Thursday, 2024.03.28
Pretending that one lives in an oppressive and fearful society, and saying so
publicly, creates a sensation of courage and nobility that, in reality, is
totally missing from the lives of many of these artsy types. For some reason,
it's not enough for these people to be perceived as interesting, or witty, or
brilliant: they have this great need to be perceived as heroic as well.

The Developing Storm

A view of the wind chimes outside the second floor window. The ridge of snow is a drift being created on the lower level roof by the wind. Normally, there would be a clear view down to the driveway below.

This intrepid sparrow has been camped at the bird feeder for the better part of an hour. He is on the down wind side of the feeder and thus protected from the driving snow. Plus, he has easy access to the seed with no apparent competition. In spite of the weather, this little fellow projects a rather cozy image.
