Did the sun rise?

Do you know why I asked?

 

I assume it did, it was up when I woke up at noon.

 

The eclipse was supposed to be tiny minor and mostly over by sunrise so I didn't stay up to catch it.

Not a clue.  I woke up way after sunrise, so for all I know it decided to just be a jerk and shine in through the one spot in my curtains that formed overnight...  And I was all go away sunshine, this is my domain of darkness!

So, I was awake and checked the eclipse info.  This should have been at about the max for my area, but, as you can see, the sun was still below the local horizon…

There are going to be large birds right outside your door and you have to choose which kind, turkeys or geese. Which do you choose and why?

Turkeys.

I know A LOT of different ways to cook 'em.:devil:::D:

Goose = Goose down feathers = Lot of work for little feathers, and it's too hot outside for me to want any.

Turkey = Food! = I know how to cook turkey, and I'm getting hungry thinking about it.

 

In either case, if these birds are wise, they should just move along.

There's an awful lot of package theft in my neighborhood. And you know what would prevent a porch pirate from stealing your stuff? An angry goose (i.e. a normal goose) nesting right next to where the delivery guy tosses your package. Granted, the poor delivery guy is going to have to come up with a way of getting packages to the door without being attacked, but I assume they can throw stuff up there and run, while the thief will have to come all the way onto the porch. Now, you're probably thinking, "but Thoramel, how are you going to retrieve your packages without getting attacked by a goose?" Well, I have an 18 pound mutt who delights in chasing geese. So I'm good.

Either; both are tasty.

As for the "Did the Sun Rise?" question: technically it did not.  It stayed in the same spot in relation to earth as it always does.  We did however successfully complete another daily planetary rotation.

both of these kinds of bird are notorious for never being wise, that's why I chose them :P

Hard to tell with the clouds, but unless someone has a very bright night light I would say yes.  I don't think we have the eclipse here.

Sorry, I was wrong.  We had a very partial eclipse here.  With the clouds I could not tell.

Turkeys because they don't leave as much mess.  We have had them many times.  Even once at our bird feeder.

Oh turkey for sure.  Mmmm, roast turkey is one of my favorite meals.

Geese would be ok I guess, but they are a little fatty for me.....

Anything but those devil spawn geese we have up here anyway:
