It's that time of the year when we start following the joys and dramas of the Decorah eagles. It looks very cold out there! The second egg was laid yesterday evening.
I've embeded the livestream video on the sidebar to make life easier. [h/t to Shapeshifterbelly]

The magic of water
Our friend Dominique sent me a spectacular slide show. All the pictures are connected with water in some way.

A fun game - UPDATE
Mrsgunka sent me a good joke:
A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one over on them easily . So the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.
The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists, saying that the game is a lot of fun...."I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5.00. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00," he says.
This catches the senior's attention and, to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?"
The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer uses his laptop to search all references he can find on the internet. He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
He wakes the senior and hands him $500.00. The senior pockets the $500.00 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"
The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
Thank you, Mrsgunka.
[Mrsgunka sent me the link to her niece's blog and I've added it to the blog list on the right. It's really lovely, worth visiting...]

I got my dates muddled up and thought Ray's birthday was tomorrow. It's today!

Wine tasting
Grammy97 sent us this joke:
At a local winery, the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire. A drunk with a ragged dirty look came to apply for the position.
The director of the factory wondered how to send him away. They gave him a glass to drink. The old guy tried it and said, "It's a muscat three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers. Low grade but acceptable."
"That's correct!" said the boss. "Another glass, please."
The man said, "It's a cabernet, eight years old, south-western slope, oak barrels, matured at eight degrees. Requires three more years for finest results."
"Absolutely correct!" said the boss again. "A third glass, please."
"It's a pinot blanc champagne, high grade and exclusive," calmly said the drunk.
The director was astonished, so winked at his secretary, to suggest something. She left the room and came back in with a glass of urine.
The alcoholic tried it. "It's a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant... and if I don't get the job, I'll name the father."
Thank you, Grammy
