Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 11, 2019

Hex marks the spot.

If a buzzard had “marked” him, they’d both be getting sick right now. Buzzard poo is horrible, and comes in large quantity for a bird. I worked for an aviary for a while, once.

Buzzards are majestic, too.

It looks like an orange bird’s claw is coming out of Arlo’s hat.

Up above a bird did fly, And dropped some whitewash in my eye. Me no laugh, me no cry, Me just glad that cows don’t fly! (so old it’s got a full white beard)

At least he was wearing his hat! The alternative… :o !

Evidently, Janis’ hair helmet precludes the necessity of a hat in cold weather.

And a majestic marking it was!

My brother-in-law learned not to let his mouth hang open when he looked up.

Its cool to see turkey vultures soaring around

As I look into the sky

I sure am glad that cows don’t fly

The dreaded “Buzzing Buzzard Bomb” !;o{

Ain’t nuthin’ worse than buzzard plop.

It is, of course, not a buzzard, unless one escaped the zoo. It’s a turkey vulture whose plop is just as bad.

Buzzards — or vultures — are important to the ecosystem. They serve a vital function.

The first thing you learn after being stationed on a Navy base is to never slam a car door. And seagulls just love shiny cars.

Old joke: Point up at the sky and say,“It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Super…” At this time, wipe one eye and say, “It’s a bird.”

That’s what you call 5 Second Karma!

Buzzards & bustards, evolved to feed on carrion than direct kills. Part of Nature’s clean up squad. But some humans see it as some kind of hierarchy of casts. That is more of a human concept.

This is what I mean about Janis. If the roles were reversed, Arlo would never say something like that to her. She is a total pill.

Buzzards are also raptors. Just bald. That way the feathers that are not on their heads and necks don’t get all bloody.

Might as well throw that away.

Buzzards may not be majestic, but they are wonderful creatures.

Wow… the last time someone got bird bombed was Gene at his wedding.

Reminds me of the moral of the legendary Foo Foo bird story………If the Foo sh*ts, wear it!Ok, sorry.
