Oh the places you will go!

Take the third exit on the left to Mulberry Street, then pass go and collect $200. Walk 500 miles and then walk 500 more, following the yellow brick road. You will arrive at your destination somewhere over the rainbow.

Just to be the man who walked 500 miles to turn up at your door?
Yeah, I would do that for my wife. I must be dedicated or maybe I got a screw loose. Hard to say at times.

anyone here a taxi driver?
Or uber? (my car cant be one as it is too old, apparently)

I dont think I could do that job for long. I can tell you how to get to Shortland Street and how long it would take and possibly how much it would cost you but not Sesame Street.

Jesus said straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life and few be those who find it.

so I'd kinda be looking in that direction.

Yes, looking for the straight gate. It is narrow. Our car is a 2012 Nissan Rogue so it's probably too old either for Uber not that I would do that.

We have 5 bird feeds that we maintain on a daily basis. We don't have a Big Bird but there is a rooster that comes by twice a day.

5?!? That's a lot lol.

I thought about getting some for the woods area here and see if I can get some plants to grow by the one's they leave behind.

Do you have one of those squirrel one's that launch them off? Scared me pretty bad the first time I went to fill that up for my grandmother.

No, but there is this one squirrel who is always finding new ways to get the bird food. I don't mind feeding him but he is such a little piggy and takes a serious amount of bird feed.

Well I heard of a friend from college make a little squirrel bench nailed into a tree I think with different kinds of nuts each day to see which ones they like and then when found...just put that out and I think they avoid the bird seed. Ofc, nuts are probably more expensive than seeds I'd imagine. Still I thought it was funny lol.

Also, if you want an amusing video about squirrels and bird feeders and how this gentleman built a squirrel obstacle course, I found it amusing. Also that someone I once knew also did at least tried different nuts like this guy did if I recall aright.

I am going to do some research also on what squirrels love to eat. I like happy little creatures.

They are pretty funny...it's just when they knock stuff over or make large messes it would irritate me.
I definitely like them out on walks :p
