Yippee Skippy!
Got a reply about my "cause" (the red-tailed hawks). Here's what they wrote me:
WITH YOUR HELP, AUDUBON WINS VICTORY FOR FAMED HAWK
Great news! Audubon Society negotiators and the Co-op Board of a posh Manhattan building reached an agreement that will allow Pale Male and his mate Lola to rebuild their nest! Within days, a network of steel spikes that previously held Pale Male’s nest in place, and will hold his new nest in place, should return to the hawks' 12th-floor home, just in time for mating season.
Many thanks for your inspiring commitment to help Pale Male by signing our petition. Your signature, and that of thousands upon thousands of other concerned citizens will help ensure Pale Male is going home for the holidays! As this is not the only or last fight we’ll see on issues that impact bird like Pale Male across the nation, we hope we can count on you to participate in future efforts to protect America’s special birds, as your involvement is truly effective!
Just as our fight to save Pale Male’s nest proves, your help makes a world of difference! For more information, visit our website at: http://www.capitolconnect.com/audubon/
All our best wishes to you and your loved ones this holiday season.
So, I'm thrilled about that. And now my sounding board on that issue is over (for now) and I get back to banal things like talking about my day. Hmmm... well, it's Xmas and I have 4 pkgs under the tree. That's pretty sad. I'm so broke and everything is sky-high price-wise (like Joe Pesci says, "They *F&#k* you at the drive-thru... er... the checkout lane." :) I went to ebay (my old fave) and tried to buy SOME new stuff w/tags etc and GOOD LAWD -- the prices for SHIPPING is OUTRAGEOUS! There oughta be a law on that... at least a CAP for crying out loud. It's like, "Bid on this beautiful feather barrette." and in fine print is says "Shipping and handling on this item is: $25.00 -- insurance an extra $10.00.) WTF is that???
So I'm Bah-humbugging today.
Bah
Humbug
