"We've worked three," he said, "and today we called in the Kentucky State Police because they have reconstructionist and because we thought they had resources to handle the accident.

Birding: Reader says Weed flyover is of Sandhill Cranes Splains how geese and cranes go; some morphology Hey Ed, I haven't had time to look closely and research the photo of geese but I believe them to be Sandhill Cranes. Necks and legsare too long. Verbally geese honk and cranes gargle. Also, here's how to tell a duck: A duck's legs are attached in the middle of it's body. Looks balanced. A goose's legs are attached on the back of their bodies. That's why geese, when standing appear to be standing more straight up, like Penguins and humans, and a duck kindly waddles. Billy Joe Fudge As one who takes birdology seriously, "Thanks." I was never sure how a goose goes. Glad to have the information. Of all the things I learned at Columbia Grade Center, it was the answer to the ornithological question, : How do you tell a duck? And the answer, which is different from Billy Joe Fudges and which drew gales of eighth grade laughter for the thousandth time in that year and forever after, was Tennis shoes because motorcycles don't have no doors.. I'm not sure who brought this wisdom to our class. I think the question came to us by either Blackie Nixon or Darrell Young. For year's, even today, this shibboleth authenticates membership in that wonderful CGS class of 1954. -EW 2009-01-14 14:24:52 | Comments | Printable version
