I just thought you should all know...

This last week, I figured out how to knock a barn swallow's nest down from the peak of one of our outbuildings. The nest was approxiametly 25 feet above my head. Barn Swallows are my Nemisis. I hate them. They swoop down on me like Japanese kamikaze pilots. I swear they are out to get me.

I am glad that my two master's degrees are useful for something... because I haven't really used them yet. The sad part about it is that I don't really think I needed two master's degrees to complete the task of knocking down a bird's nest... but humor me. I need to think that those 4 years weren't a complete waste of my time.

...that and I'd like to think I am smarter than these freakin' birds. I have declared war on them. Last year I "took out" one of their own... and they proceeded to crap all over our van. I am the "Benito Mussolini" of the Barn Swallows. ("Benito McMinneeeasota" if you will.) This was me when I realized that they were taking an offensive approach against me.


Okay, I haven't really declared war on them...

well...

maybe I have... but I am not an evil man... Although, I am in favor of the eradication of an entire species of birds...

I am on a mission to eliminate the Barn Swallows. ...and Grackles. Grackles are the enemy too. (I am fighting on two fronts.)

Do you still love me internet?
