    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It's all good for me and him as long as he keeps his distance from my Parrots

    He was in my backyard when I got home from Bolsa, and I mean in the yard not in a tree but on the ground looking at the sparrows that hang out :wow
