Yeah, I Like Birds. What's It To Ya?

There is a slight, unavoidable feeling of insecurity in my manhood when I admit to my fondness for flowers and birds. I never had a "be a tough guy" type of father figure in my life and to me that is a good thing. Personally, I can't think of another male (or female for that matter) that has a desire to sit quietly and just listen to birds and try to figure out what exactly they are hearing.

At the same time, I am still trying to figure out why I am attracted to this activity. What do I get out of it? What's the appeal? But instead of trying to answer those questions to myself, I should just enjoy it and not care why.

Ronald Reagan Quote While Running For California Governor

"I think, too, that we've got to recognize that where the preservation of a natural resource like the redwoods is concerned, that there is a common sense limit. I mean, if you've looked at a hundred thousand acres or so of trees — you know, a tree is a tree, how many more do you need to look at?"

I guess Ronnie needed to see more buildings. It gets lonely out there in all them trees.
