A murder of crows

Heard a ruckus overhead as I was toting in wood for the fire. Looked up in time to see a hawk alight atop my old TV aerial--I have a really tall one--then take off immediately as it was set upon by 5-6 crows, which chased it out over the woods.

It's a raw day. The winds have picked up from the NW, and temps have dropped from the mid 30s to around freezing. The sun peeks through occasionally, but doesn't stay for long. Prior to that, the comparatively mild temps + rain+ no snow cover combined to make for just enough mud to dirty up puppy paws and undersides, so the floor's a bit of a mess. And now it's all freezing, which means the backyard will be a skating rink. But hey, it's supposed to snow in a couple of days, and that will make it all better.

Oh well. Indoor woodboxes are filled. The rack on the deck, about halfway.

Last day of holiday vacation. Rats.

This is the first time I've ever seen this--personality determination according to blood type.

I'm Type A:

Type As may seem calm on the outside, but inside, you’re filled with anxiety and worry. You’re perfectionists and often shy and sensitive. Usually introverted, you’re stable and thoughtful. You make good listeners and are sensitive to color and your surroundings. You like to be fashionable and are up on the latest trends, but never flashy or gaudy. You like romantic settings and often shun reality for fantasy worlds. A is most compatible with A and AB in the love department. Common career choices: accountant, librarian, economist, writer, computer programmer, and gossip columnist.

It's actually pretty close, says the introvert writer worry wart. I have had coworkers comment on how calm I am when shit hits the fan. They don't see the little person inside who's kicking trash cans across the room. I don't know about the fashionable thing, though. I like fashion magazines, but when it comes to dressing myself, I don;t quite measure up.
