Falcons point of view

-
9 minutes from a PBS documentary studying how raptors, especially the Falcon fly and dive. This is amazing footage taken from a camera placed on the back of a Peregrine Falcon.

    I want those dude's headgear: that crazy German-like hat and the flip down magnifying lenses.

    I like to watch birds fly and swoop. They are beautiful creatures.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States.

He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
