If it looks like spring...
Hello, Readers All, We ventured out into Central Park today because it was about damned time we got to see that famous fugitive Eurasian Eagle-Owl. If we had any doubts about being able to find this owl, the crowd standing around in the North Woods - some with cameras that had lenses longer than I am tall - put those doubts right out the door.
Not having a camera with a five-foot-long lens, this was the best AleXander was able to do as far as photographic evidence.
That’s the present and now to the recent - and not so recent - past.

El Quijote ain’t what it used to be
And before anyone thinks I’ve gone soft and gooey in the middle all of a sudden, this should settle that question.

Opinion: New Yorkers and Their Dogs | Remington Write | NewsBreak Original
Twice recently I watched people carrying their dogs down to the subway and in both instances, the dogs were clearly not digging the experience. In fact, one was white-eyed and struggling to make an escape (there is no escape, Rex, chill). Please note that in neither case was the dog safely tucked away in one of those cute dog-purses. Nope. Rex 1 and Rex 2 were just being hauled down the stairs into what is certainly one of the circles of hell in his owner’s arms.
AleXander’s contribution this week is this video he put together from clips he took this afternoon during our walk in the backyard aka Central Park. He composed the music and edited the clips together as well as patiently waiting for tufted titmice to swoop down and grab pumpkin seeds from my hand.

Hat remains by the door with my constant gratitude for the coinage you share. It’s a Big Deal, so thank you.
https://ko-fi.com/remingtonwriteThere we are, Readers All, ready to dig into another week of writing and other mischief. Never hesitate to jettison all flotsam and inculcate any imbrications, sending all such to Remington.write@gmail.com
Time to get to work.
