In Chicago, a South American Bird Scratches Out a Hardscrabble Home

Hundreds of monk parakeets, escapees from the pet trade, have settled beneath the city’s elevated highway.

www.wsj.com

CHICAGO—The first time John Viramontes saw monk parakeets in the wild, they were far from their native home in South America, feeding in a trash-strewn patch of grass beneath an elevated freeway that towers over industrial riverfront and abandoned steel mills on the city’s far south side.

The non-native birds have become an unlikely fixture in the urban landscape of the Windy City, where large numbers of the striking green-and-gray parakeets live year-round.

“It’s jarring,” said Mr. Viramontes, a 71-year-old retired accountant who typically goes birding at a forested nature preserve on the city’s west side, rather than underneath the elevated Chicago Skyway near the Indiana border. “There’s beer bottles over there, and there’s garbage over here, and they’re surviving. It’s almost surreal.”

The Super Lemon Haze scissor hash from this last June needs a warning label on the canister, but if I start the design of that label while under its influence, there's no telling the breadth the project might achieve, or any estimated date of completion.

Medscape just published another study. This one states that vegetarians suffer from depression more often.

Did some thinking re. variables that might contribute to this, other than a clear cause and effect correlation. Seems to be there's a number of them, off the top of my head.

Many vegetarians seem to be more aware or 'woke' re. the world's ills, including corporate farming of livestock. Awareness might lead to greater depression. I would hope it does. It should.

Vegetarianism, specifically veganism, is frequently prescribed or subscribed to by folks with cancer. Cancer can certainly be depressing.

There are other possible variables, but those were the first 2 off the top of my head.

Time for some uncured sausage now.

I went vegan for cancer's sake for most of 1-1/2 years. No more for now. I still try to maintain a conscientious diet, but as much as I love Thai red curry, if I ate another bowl of Thai red curry with tofu, I might puke.

So your in-line to the heater was freezing, or the tank itself?

Too close to a cold spot or cold wall?

Ironically, many folks claim their hot water will freeze before cold lines, but I haven't seen that.

hot water temps drop faster because it has more to lose. i don't know if i buy the "it freezes faster" deal or not. should be easy to test though, if we had any aspiring scientists aboard... me, i'm a philosopher myself.

Most of my plumbing/mechanical that transits an exterior wall, is 5 to 8 ft. below grade. A life-saver up here.

Good luck.

CES started today in Vegas. I am so glad that I never have to go again.

Do you REALLY want to know? What happens if this piece of left brain popcorn is the piece that finally overloads your circuits and you become a gibbering drooling wreck of the incredible human you once were?
Then you'd only be useful for shark bait somewhere like the great barrier reef ... har har har har ...

i thought those were all in DC voting for Speaker of the House ? uh, i mean against him. i agree for once with the talking heads on TV. you can't let 20 fucking morons tell 200 people what to do... both parties have let the damned wingnuts on both flanks control things...i understand, the "squeaky wheel gets the grease". someone needs to shove a grease gun up their ass & tell them to STFU and go sit in the corner... "when i want to know what you think, i'll fucking beat it out of you!"
