The Call of the Wild

What's the best time to visit Alaska? Easy that. If you dwell or stay in these parts, you might consider which time of the year is fixing to be the hottest, then go to Alaska during that time. Course it's a little hard to predict when the weather shall be hottest in these parts (too much competition), but August of the Julian is a good bet. Yepper. August, whether hottest or not, is a good bet for miserable weather and a swell or sweltering time to be somewhere cooler, like Alaska.

Mercy! Many a terrible, hot time, equivalent to Hades has Crumby endured. Yes. Crumby has dwelt his entire life within the miserable confines of the super heated Republico duh Tejas, almost. Mercy! In Tejas or close by his entire life. And 1/12 of that time, approximately, was August. Jeez Louise!

Semi poetic interlude:

Yet now, since the people continuously make shit hotter, mow the dead grass and live weeds shorter, and blow the corpses around with leaf blowers, oh!, how the hot wind blows. Goodness!

So naturally, just considering a change from the dreaded Austink August, Alaska at that time would be a wonderful treat. Yes it would. Alas!

Meantime, that crazy pyrrhuloxia that showed up at the CB the week of the Winter Solstice is still here. Every day it can be seen scrounging seeds from the ground underneath one of the bird feeders. Presumably, it gets seeds the other birds drop. Yes. Some birds are smart enough to operate the feeders by themselves, including the supposed close relative of the pyrrhuloxia, the northern cardinal. How about that? The cardinals can get seeds out of the feeders, but the pyrrhuloxia can't, or won't.

Is this sad fact true of all pyrrhuloxias, or is this particular pyrrhuloxia a retard? Crumby wants to know.

Anyway, Crumby has always figured that out of range members of Class Aves are out or range due to a knock to the noggin. So maybe if this pyrrhuloxia we are discussing was at home and hadn't been slapped up side the haid, it would be capable of operating a feeder. Maybe!
