Okay, I moved the camera down by the fox den. Got pics yesterday and last night of two kits and mom! I will post them ASAP.

You know Monica, I never used to like poetry until I came here. KT is a wonderful poet. Many of you folks are wordsmiths extraordinaire.

KT, they mate for life and kinda parachute in to a landing. Many animals mate for life.

Monica, if you do get one you will love seeing the variety of life day and night.

Have you ever seen a mourning dove? They are perfectly camouflaged. They come in for a landing like someone hanging under a parachute. I watch them and their underside is a pale blue that makes them hare to see from below. If you were above them you would have a hard time seeing them. Their bodies are covered in speckles of brown light and dark. They would blend in with the terrain. Up close they are beautiful. Their call is a magical, mournful, Cooing.

NJ, you have no idea how hard it is for me to get the pics from the computer to here. Since I’m illiterate with computers.

Kalima had to help me. Thanks to her for all the help.

Ad, this is my religious experience. God or Mother Nature created beautiful creatures and we humans are the only ones who create junk.

Ex, they are so much fun to watch from the dinning room window. Yesterday I saw one fox jump up on the feeder and another down the hill at the edge of the woods lay down and watch. There are kits in their den and I’m going to set the camera so it can get pics of them coming and going.

You are right they are beauties.

Thanks Kes, the raccoons that visit me use the feeder like it was a jungle gym. I put a weather vane straight through the center of the feeder and they swing around it. It is hard to see it but there is an American flag on top of the weather vane.

A couple days ago I saw a raccoon between the top and next down looking in the window at me. Their faces sure are cute. He looked like he was stuck for a moment, lol.

Thanks Cyndi, yes I go through a lot of bird seed. It is something I enjoy and all the critters do too. Your woodchucks are different than mine. Mine eat dandelions and clover and seeds. We don’t have peach trees here.

Thank you Kalima. You are a shining star in my life.

Did you see the fox kit on the top pic? He follows mom around. Too cute! The little doe used to come up on the porch every day last winter. She was so cute, wanted to go out there and give her a hug. Instead, I took pictures of her. I have some of her in two feet of snow and many others with varying depths of snow. The resolution of the pics is not great and all the squirrels, birds, and chipmunks do not show up as well.

This is like my theme song.

Sally , I always like your funnies. You choose good ones.

» Posted By Nirek On July 5, 2014 @ 3:00 pm

Sally, thanks so much. To me it is a spiritual thing. Mother Nature (God) made so many wonderful creatures. I’m lucky they come to visit me.

Religion & The U.S. Constitution: The Official Record

Zeke, the framers were way ahead of their time. Even though they did a fine job, things change and some of what they put in the Constitution seems to be applied literally by the Tea Party folks. Some is misinterpreted by some folks, too. Because of the “well armed militia” , the TP think it’s okay for anyone to have powerful weapons with multiple ammo clips. I doubt the framers envisioned that.

Also I doubt they envisioned the Congress locking up and doing absolutely nothing.

Zeke, Well done! A combination of KT’s post and yours is very informative.
I really like opinions but facts are even better.
Thanks, I’ll reread it and may have to refer to it often.

Is The United States Of America A Christian Nation?

Miles”you are so right” Long, my friend, how do we do that, though?

» Posted By Nirek On July 3, 2014 @ 1:46 pm

Well done KT, I have no doubt that the GOP/TP think we are a Christian country. Even though they are wrong. After all they are wrong more often than not. They follow some leaders who are “profiteers”. The followers believe them to be profits, wrongly so.

Corporations Are Religious Extremists Too!

Murph, you have struck a nerve with me.
The Bible is a good guideline.
But it was written by man (fallible) and interpreted and rewritten and reinterpreted and so on and so on also by man (still fallible). So nobody with any sanity can take what is written in the Bible literally. It’s just a guideline. That’s all.

It’s all good , PollyTics.

Mop, I’m going to borrow, ” The fiendish five”!
Thank you for that and the rest of your posts.

» Posted By Nirek On July 1, 2014 @ 12:15 pm

Sally, it would not surprise me if the five were all guilty of DUI, or RUI (ruling under the influence).

» Posted By Nirek On July 1, 2014 @ 7:52 am

Monica, they were all men who ruled against women. It makes me ashamed to be a man.

» Posted By Nirek On July 1, 2014 @ 7:49 am

PollyTics, if just one of the five SCJ’s had gone with the dissenters he could have changed this “law”. Those five made a law. How is that majority rules?

” Only one Supreme Court Justice, Samuel Chase (one of the signatories to the Declaration of Independence), has ever been impeached. The House of Representatives accused Chase of letting his Federalist political leanings affect his rulings, and served him with eight articles of impeachment in late 1804. The Senate acquitted him of all charges in 1805, establishing the right of the judiciary to independent opinion. Chase continued on the Court until his death in June 1811.

Close Calls

In 1957, at the height of McCarthyism, the Georgia General Assembly passed a joint resolution calling for “The Impeachment of Certain U.S. Supreme Court Justices” believed to be enabling Communism with their decisions. The resolution targeted Chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justices Hugo Black, William O. Douglas, Tom Campbell Clark, Felix Frankfurter, and Stanley Forman Reed (as well as several unnamed deceased Justices) for “…[usurping] the congressional power to make law in violation of Article I, Sections I and 8, and violated Sections 3 and 5 of the 14th Amendment and nullified the 10th Amendment of the Constitution.”

Abe Fortas, who served on the Supreme Court from 1965-1969, was almost impeached due to a tax and financial scandal involving Wall Street financier, Louis Wolfson. Fortas was a Lyndon Johnson appointment. When the new President, Richard Nixon, learned of the scandal, he reportedly said Fortas should be “off of there,” referring to the Supreme Court. The House of Representatives had already taken preliminary steps toward impeachment.

Chief Justice Earl Warren urged Justice Fortas to resign, to save the reputation of the Court. Fortas resisted at first, but eventually told other members of the Court he was stepping down to avoid damaging his wife’s legal career. Later, he admitted another reason for leaving the Court was to save his friend, William O. Douglas, who was also under investigation for judicial impropriety.

The House of Representatives finally concluded Douglas had committed no impeachable offenses and dropped the investigation.”

We can sure hope it will bring women from the R to the D side of things. Any woman who votes for the republicans is voting against women.
