My birthday present to myself today will probably be the MySnap screen capture utility (yay freeware), and I might even splurge and update to the latest version of IrfanView while I'm at it (yay even more freeware!) Or wait, maybe that's my birthday present from the Internets? Oh, crap! The Internets and I got me the same thing!
Oh, the sky stayed fairly clear today, and the moon has now waxed enough that it subdues most of the stars tonight, but I think it's expected to be getting a bit chillier again over the next few days. Maybe actual winter will come back soon. The birds would probably prefer that it didn't, as they were out in large numbers today, enjoying the mildness, flying about and pecking wherever and chattering back and forth. I myself found it nice to have the air remain still this afternoon, so I could go out with less risk of being struck down by falling pine cones (having had several bare escapes on recent windy days.) By night, the risk of slipping on the cones littering the ground and damaging an ankle remains high. I ought to clean the yard up a bit.
Here's something that I'd like to make a regular feature of my journal (assuming I can find anything this good in the future): WTF, Flickr!?! (decidedly NOT safe for work!)
A happy un-birthday to all and sundry.

many happy returns to the only flying capricorn in the world
Re: many happy returns to the only flying capricorn in the world
But are you sure I'm the only flying Capricorn in the world?
I'm pretty sure Richard Nixon used to fly. Aaliyah used to fly until she crashed. Hermann Göring ran a whole air force. I don't know if Tippi Hedren flies or not, but she did used to hang out with birds. And how could Karl Rove secretly run the whole country if he never flies?
No, you must be mistaken.

to counter your wtf!
Re: to counter your wtf!
LOC's website has been getting more responsive to public input of late. The summary section on the bibliographic page for this photo is evidence. The correction (they had speculated that the unknown location was in Pasadena) took several years to appear, but they finally changed it. I wasn't expecting the acknowledgement. I'd have written a more thorough description had I known they'd actually use the information.
