There’s two ways one can look at trading in a 1984 Canon AE1 SLR camera with flash and zoom accessories. I could be sad at seeing the camera of my youth and earliest photos being devalued to virtually nothing . . . or I could accept the reality it doesn’t work anymore, I’m never going to use it again and that it’s taking up space in my home.
I accepted reality and traded it in for a $5 at a nearby camera shop.
Hello Monday lunch!
Old Man Fookwire is a grump who only likes to paint pictures of birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates-until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that charms the old grump.
My take: How can you not like a book where you get to say Googlie Mooglie, raise your fist and yell “Those darned squirrels”?
