Occlith, the bird must have tired itself out a smidge because he only squawked on and off for a couple hours the following night. If it happens again Sunday night when my husband has to get up at 4.30 AM, I guarantee that hose will be set up! Seems logical. I love a mockingbird during the...

I'll have to give that one a try. But I did read a book about better times in Afghanistan, a book by Tamsin Ansary, shoot, if i can recall the title! Think it has "New York" in there somewhere... anyhow. It's by an afghan-american guy of the sixties generation, recalling his early days in the...
