Thanks, V. I can always take solace in the fact that if something is not widely read, you seem to give it a look.

I do my best to read all the prompters Hauke, but in your case it's a given because you're so good...

Wow O _ O. I used talk to ravens in Flagstaff. It really seemed to freak them out - and while I can't say what they thought, thinking seemed to be one of their favorite things to do. Their depth of concentration was palpable, their patience commendable and their personalities delightful. While I realize this is about crows (a murder of them) I can't help but reminded of their other feathered relation. I do rather suspect they'd like one of those little blinky boxes, I can imagine a few have managed to get their claws on one, too perhaps - though I'm not sure they could fly off with one.

I may have been taking liberties with the payloads they could lift but up close, they are quite large birds.

This was a cute story. I often think about what our dogs and cats must think of our behavior with our phones. Especially those that are old enough to remember when smart phones were not as ubiquitous.

Are there any dogs or cats that old now? It seems like the age of a person needing their phone to remember their own address has been around for quite a while.

I had Chiquita when I made the switch from a flip phone to a really limited smart phone (LG Optimums V). It was much longer before I got an actual smart phone.

Could it move beyond addiction to a sort of religion? Or start to gain rules on how they are to be treated, like flags?

Never let it touch the ground.
Any time an app can take the place of a web site, the app must be used.

Wow. That was really well done. Bravo.

Thank you!
