Today will be my first and only day working for the Census, unless I get an enumerator job later. There was a mix-up about my schedule and so I was assigned one shift only. But I will be back with pictures!

Here’s Finney giving a good stretch. I love the splayed toes on that back paw. So cute. He’s saying, “Yup, we’ll be relaxing back here, looking cute for a living. Please don’t forget that the ‘bringing home the bacon’ line is meant to be taken literally. And bring home bacon, is what we’re saying. Thank you.”

Paul Krugman speaks for me. And I’m sorry anyone who disagrees with me. But I would not put anyone here in the same category as Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and others, so this editorial is not about you, okay? This is about them (I can’t believe Gingrich framing civil rights like it’s a bad thing) and John “There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year,” McCain’s total lack of grace.

Taken seconds ago on the roof. Love my pigeons. Sorry I was late guys.

I am so so so so happy about Health Care Reform. I just wish change would happen faster. I believe this will create a competitive environment that will drive premiums down, but that will take years and I can barely afford my insurance premiums now, which, by the way, recently went up an insane amount. No one can convince me that they didn’t do that knowing change was coming and they were going to squeeze everything they could out of me/us before it does. Bastards.

Well, you have to start somewhere. We’re all feeling a little safer now, though. Help is on the way. We can relax. A little.

Really freaking high. For instance, I climbed these stairs to Johnson Avenue. See how high up that is?

Well, right behind me there was another set of stairs, just as long and high, heading up to whatever the next avenue was. I should have climbed them to take a picture of the higher view, but I was anxious to get to the houses on the river.

There are always birds waiting for me each morning. Sometimes I think I’ll stop feeding the them and save myself a little money. But what …

… would I saw to this guy? That’s a vulture, right? Seriously, what is this? A very big starling?
