    All the little monsters and goblins have vacated the streets by now. Safe at home, their tricks and treats piled high on newspaper covered carpet or in heaps spilling off the kitchen table. They would be bouncing off the bedroom walls tonight; the effects of a massive sugar rush. Not so for Chuck and Dave, to old for door to door candy collecting but not of age to attain a drivers license, they celebrated Halloween in a whole new way this year. Chuck swiped a micky of Canadian Club whisky from his fathers liqueur cabinet and between passing and sipping both were in a joyous mood as they saunte...Doeone door

    THE PEREGRINATOR

    I take one last look back at "our scrape" as I realize our clutch of three eggs are lost yet once again. I vividly remember the two of the thin shelled fragile red tinged buff coloured eggs crushing against the breast of my mate as she tried to incubate them. We have had the pleasure of raising fledglings previously but these times are hard. The third egg had given me hope in the beginning later was overcome by fear. Twenty eight, Twenty nine, thirty, thirty one, thirty two, thirty three - I was counting the days since we had almost reached the last of our incubation. It was futile. What did I...Doeone door
