A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Little bastards cost me a couple of hundered dollars when I had to call a repairman because I couldn't get the furnace to light due to a nest in the chimney. Actually, *I* cost me by not thinking of that.

dad likes purple martins.   he mounted a tall house for them in his back yard.  
there was a good size hawk that would swoop in right over the top of the trees at super fast speed and grab one of them up right off the top of that bird house to devour, every couple days.
dad decided to sit on the back porch with the shot gun and wait.
