I don't read it either, but I'm glad someone did.<br /><br />Your conversation with the neighborhood murder sounds hilarious. The crows are probably still chuckling about whatever rude things you likely said. Hopefully, it was interpreted as some scathing commentary about bankers and power elites in general.<br /><br />I'm glad you like the ship. Naturally, it was Crow who insisted on the observation decks. He likes being able to make a speedy getaway when necessary.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-30301827830535311582014-03-17T12:49:08.556-07:002014-03-17T12:49:08.556-07:00I love steampunk too.

I don't read music, so I never got any farther than wondering.<br /><br />I'm sure that is precisely how the crows would have sounded, intended to sound, but knew we bipeds wouldn't get it if they used their own voices.<br /><br />(Had a brief, but exhilarating, "conversation" with neighborhood crows last evening. It started with one of them cawing in a laughing fashion. I repeated it, added a sharp caw at the end, and waited. Two answered, the first one, repeating his laugh, and the second one repeating my sharp caw. We went back and forth like that for a couple more rounds - ala dueling banjos, each of us adding a different sound to what we started with - as they and friends drew closer to my yard. The conversation fell apart when one of their friends jumped in with a note that evidently the next in line, at which the original two chased the third one away. Game over, much crow-cursing ensued. I cracked up - so funny!)The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-36826529479666319982014-03-17T11:29:35.371-07:002014-03-17T11:29:35.371-07:00Very steampunk picture (oldest dau taught me the w...Very steampunk picture (oldest dau taught me the word).
