Thinking by now my bird averse readers are absolutely fed up with all the bird posts this month.. hell, this year. Admittedly, I’ve definitely narrowed my post themes significantly and for that I apologize – at least to those of you who prefer your birds on a plate with garnish and a fine wine. To my credit, I have thrown in a few wildlife posts that didn’t have wings along with a few recollections. To help right the ship, let’s give some respect to my Alma Mater.
Unfortunately, we’ve been subjected to some pretty horrific sporting years as of late. For the record, I am withholding all donations to the U of I (and my ticket purchases) until they get their sports straightened out – p a t h e t i c. However, I must give complete kudos to the race coordinators for the annual Illinois Marathon.
