I had to think about this and got something of an answer @ 5:22 AM with the dawn chorus waking me up. I thought sunrise was @ 5:50 AM.
What a CACophony. So a bird big or small has to do what a bird has to do, SING.
So from the birdsong this morning I can say the weather today will be bright and sunny with a nip in the air as they will be some snow in the Highlands.

Those birds,as they sing must themselves cack and cack they do do everywhere. I had to lock the chooks up because I was sick of their cack at the backdoor, very slippery. They will cack at you while they are being shoooed away they will come inside and cack if the backdoor if left open.

So what are we left with? George and Funkadelic was a harbringer of the true state of the nation vis a vis the West. Who would of thought in his drug induced brilliance he was a prophet.

What of hope then? Now our chidren are having children we have to start the process of teaching all over again. All that work,all the demos, all the words written, all the thoughts spoken do we now say to our children, "Don't be responsible for bringing more souls into this cacca"?

Our East African bird in the whitehouse, surely came in with the hope what he did may matter.
But as this german neighbour said to me when we just happened to be watching his address to congress; "Look at them they have a Black President of the United States of America, they HATE IT and they HATE HIM!!!!!"

Well, they love him in Eygpt and they love him in India so it is all in the perception. He shows them the possibilities.

So HOPE reigns ETERNAL for big birds and little birds alike and for mothers ???????????????????????

peace
