An Unusual Blizzard
(Left) The weather forecast calls for a snow storm tomorrow. 
(RIGHT) But an hour ago we had a blizzard of robins.

Hmmm...
Wait a minute. Let's see...several things just don't add up.
It's January 11, 2012. Winter. A time for nasty storms, of course. And yet, this huge flock of fat spring-like robins descends into my backyard and onto the nearby high school soccer field. Naturally, I scurry around for the camera, burst out the door, they fly off, my camera malfunctions. It's just like trying to photograph UFOs, blurry images and all!
But wait, there's more.
Yesterday, there was a bluebird on the back fence... I couldn't even find the camera then! ...and the temp hit 60-degrees.
Next thing you know, an actual down-to-earth, non-elite, non-moneyed, non-prejudice, non-pandering clear thinking person will run for president! Yeah, right. I have my camera ready for that, but the odds are more in favor of a mass alien landing.
It's going to be an interesting year.
