We have a once-beautiful white birch tree in the backyard that seems to have mostly died over the winter, as now it only has leaves on a few branches near the bottom. This is a pretty creepy vista, as dead trees have a sort of horror movie look to start with, all the worse because the white bark of the birch makes it look like a negative image of a tree, and Hollywood long ago taught us that negatives are a harbinger of terror. That's all bad enough to start with, but now that my bird feeder is all the rage with the local avian community, it has become a favorite haunt of a murder of crows, another horror cliché. It can be pretty unsettling to look out there and seeing more than a dozen crows perched on those dead white branches. Watching... waiting.

I wonder if you were grown from a test tube or something. So you always did exactly what your parents told you? You never drank underage? You never snuck out to a party after being explicitly warned not to? I did do some underage drinking, after graduating HS. But I always have and still consider the drinking age requirement of 21 to be stupid. If 18 is old enough vote and be in the military, it is old enough to drink. Never snuck out. Never did an illegal drug. Never had even a single puff of a cigarette (still never to both of those). Kids can be rational if they want to be.
