Wilma

Today we are waiting for Wilma to sweep by us.Fortunately,we will only get a taste of what the Carribbean and Florida have been hit with.Unfortunately,the kitchen roof still leaks!
All of the birds are being very quiet today.They seem to be very aware of the weather.I noticed last year when we were hit by hurricane Juan, that they were very quiet and still while it was building up then once it started to blow ,all was well.Our attitudes seem to affect how they react to the situation.Fear begets fear,so we must stay calm.
Trying to quit smoking is possibly the hardest thing that I have ever tried to do.It is essential that we clean up the air for ourselves but more so for the birds.As careful as we try to be,they still get some second hand smoke and we feel that is totally unfair to them.Large air cleaners aside it is still there.The only thing that works for me is to have NO access to tobacco.No tobacco can't smoke.
It seems strange that government spends tons of money on stop smoking programs but we still have tobacco all over the place.Yet many things much less harmful are illegal. Liquor,the single biggest addictive drug is acceptable but an innocuous weed will put you in jail!! Bogus.
