That's a police pursuit cat. How do you think they caught the guy?
Just for fun...

@Jeremy McCreary, I had KPBS on this morning. 71 degrees! The rest of North America is green with envy.

The urge to rub it in gets really, really hard to resist sometimes. And you, my friend, are not helping. ;^}
Oh, what the heck, I'm giving in! Two days of sun since the last storm with many more to come. And we're also green — with unusually lush spring greenery all over coastal San Diego County. Courtesy of our exciting (aka unusually stormy) winter. Enjoying both the storms and the greenery while they last.

OMG, a saber-tooth squirrel in your sink! Run!
It takes a very creative (or very stoned) artist to see an opportunity like that and pull it off so effectively. Would that be you?

For the 3rd year in a row “our” Anna Hummingbird has returned to the same nesting spot on a light string above our deck just under the carport roof at our Arizona home.
She is very tolerant of us humans. Unfortunately, each year a Cactus Wren attacks her and the hatched babies before the fledge.
We hope this year they can survive.

James (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned to salt."
Concerned, James asked: "What happened to the flea?"

Just want to say -- it is hardly translatable -- people who gather in churches on Sunday in Poland often do not understand what they are actually supposed to sing.
An example:
Instead of: "To the Queen of Angels let us sing"
They sing: "To the Queen of Angles let us sing"

When I was little, I used to say the Pledge of Allegiance in school as "... One nation, invisible..." instead of "indivisible". My son used to say it "... with levity, and this is for all", instead of "with liberty and justice for all". Also the chain "Chucky Cheese's" he used to call "Chunky Jesus".

It looks a pretty universal phenomenon!When I was little, I used to say the Pledge of Allegiance in school as "... One nation, invisible..." instead of "indivisible". My son used to say it "... with levity, and this is for all", instead of "with liberty and justice for all". Also the chain "Chucky Cheese's" he used to call "Chunky Jesus".
I regret I'm unable to provide English translations of Polish mistakes of that kind. Would you fancy a poem phrase " Still defends the towers of Alpuhara Almanzor with a bunch of knights" could easily be turned into the "Still defends the Beast of Alpuhara Almanzor with a bunch of knights"? And everybody thought what a Beast Almanzor could be found in the fortress of Las Alpujarras

My Welsh friend told me he and friends used to intentionally change the words of some church songs, so the "While shepherds watched their flocks by night..." became "While shepherds washed their socks by night..."

My wife once bought a fancy Japanese chef's knife. The English safety instructions warned to "Keep out of children."
Good to know.

Could you put up something like chicken wire that the humming bird can pass through but the wren cannot? I don't usually interfere with mother nature, but it is sad the all the babies get eaten each year.
