Atticus, I've been off some place else lately. Are you Irish? I am and am damned for it. I like that "I am and am damned"
Anyway, you need my patented "crow cannon"
This is a humane way to rid one's life of the in-
fernal "smock, smock" and the answering chorus at sunrise. My wife is French and a certified
tree hugger. So I live in a patch which might resemble darkly forrested Gaul.[no boars yet but the squirrels are tryna get in the front door]
But to the point. I can no longer play tennis but have myriad balls and racquets. Love to run out in robe and Ftl's at dawn and fire some shots into the tree tops. Crows are wily and they know when to take off. A coupla tennis
balls into their eyrie and they are off. Used to
be that a vigourous hand clap would spook 'em but now they only understand brute force. A tennis racquet and a coupla old, dead balls into the tree top and off they go.
By the way, I'm writing an epic poem about the slaughter of the Monks. The parrots who are so damn smart that they build condos around the
transformers on our telephone poles. Nice and cozy in winter. Monk parrots. I think they may be Irish. regards, cockeyed.
