Squawking

Yesterday a couple of ravens flew overhead and squawked at Andy. The rat zapper has killed one or two rats since I last wrote about them, and the ravens got them within a half hour of him putting them out.

New score:
Greenhouse: 4
Truck: at least 10

It just goes to show, never expect gratitude. Don’t be surprised when you just set up unrealistic expectations and are condemned when you can’t meet them.

Has that ever happened to you? Do you think it’s ever happened to the U.S.?

    No, frankly I have never been expected to produce unrealistic results nor have I ever expected such outputs from others. About the USA, quite whether it was expected to produce some miracles is a moot point but its expectations from Pakistan have always been totally unrealistic and Pakistan has repeatedly let down the USA. I however don’t see the USA condemning Pakistan. Strange! Wheels within wheels?

      I read an article where one Iraqi said the U.S. had the responsibility of protecting him, and another fellow — in a Shiite area that had been fighting the Islamic State for 70 days and was on its last legs — was furious the U.S. rescued the Yazidis but not them. The U.S. invasion did destabilize the country, but it can’t do everything.

    I warned you the ravens would do this! 🙂 They won’t bite the hand that feeds them but they’ll sure roust him out to tend to his feeding duties…

    Has happened to me sometimes.

    As to the US, hmm, well I think so; but I might not say any more.
