Comment on Falling Slowly by ryan

So far we seem to have them baffled… they haven’t figured out how to climb down to the perches yet, and if they do the bottom half of the feeder is spring activated and drops two inches, so they can’t get to the food. That said, I’m still mystified by how they chewed off a metal perch from the last feeder, so I wouldn’t be surprised to come out one day and find a squirrel with a tiny hacksaw sawing away at the metal connectors.

Ryan,

After many years of fighting squirrels at feeders. I agree with your Mom.

Hi Audrey and Ryan,
I’ll bet that cute little squirrel will figure out how to drop the Squirrel Buster 9000 to the ground soon.
Sure hope I’m wrong – but nice try anyway.
Love, Mom

Comment on Thankfully They Didn’t Serve Soup by ryan

I like doing things that are memorable and unusual – I swam with whales and went to Antarctica three times – so in that aspect I’d definitely recommend this place. That said, it’s very expensive, so if you’re concerned about the money then go to a concert and pay for good seats or do something else where you wouldn’t be as concerned with price.

And I didn’t dress up that much – I had to wear a tie when we went to the opera in December, which was way more traumatic.

The part that is more interesting to me than the restaurant is that there is some small suggestion in this post that you dressed nice and went on a date! I can only wonder how that looks
So, since it is unclear to me as usual from your post, do you recommend it or not?

really? i thought i heard they were selling chinese cars in india, but singapore, too? does it count as a wrong prediction if i predict something that’s already happened? i’m clearly not very good at this game…

Love the pictures, Ryan!
Hope you are having a great time in Utah even though you didn’t sound really enthusiastic last night.
Enjoy the snow cause we sure don’t get much in California!

I like #9.

Comment on 2009 Predictions Redux by ryan

i can only make incorrect guesses about things which i should have some knowledge. cricket and indians (dot, not feather) fall into the “not knowledgeable” category, so your accusation of incorrect predicting is invalid, not to mention hurtful to my very sensitive feelings.

that said, i know enough about cricket to know that they have tea breaks, so i predict that if india is in the world series of cricket then at some point they will stop playing and gather around a table to drink tea. the nfl does not have tea breaks, which is an easy way to tell the two sports apart if you happen to turn on the tv without knowing whether you’re watching cricket or football.

ma holliday wasn’t a fan of the new look, either, so i had my people make a few tweaks. hopefully the changes meet with everyone’s approval.
