destabeeUnfortunately the issues with my online courses have not reslolved themselves overngiht which makes it seem less like a temporary glitch or maintenance issue. In a word all that work is still MISSING! Nothing I can do about it on a weekend as we don't have 24/7 tech support at our little campus.
On a positive note: the peanut feeder is working. I just had not 1 but 2 blue jays outside my window. Also red- and white-breasted nuthatches, at least 2 black-capped chickadees, and a pair of downy woodpeckers. That in addition to the pine siskin and goldfinch crowd.
Warm (for NW Indiana in January) and wet here today. I am headed up to the office to sort through mail and such so that I can hit the ground running in the morning. First more coffee and a quick check at the spin from last night's debate.
I hope you all have a great day.
Keeping them for later: Lyrics for "On with the Song" from Mary Chapin Carpenter's album The Calling
This isn't for the ones who blindly follow
Jingoistic bumper stickers tellin' you
To love it or leave it and you'd better love Jesus
And get out of the way of the Red, White, and Blue
This isn't for the ones who buy their six-packs
At the 7-Eleven where the clerk makes change
Whose accent makes clear (he) sure ain't from here
They call him a camel jockey instead of his name
[Chorus:]
No, this is for the ones who stand their ground
When the lines in the sand get deeper
When the whole world seems to be upside down
And (the) shots bein' taken get cheaper, cheaper
This isn't for the ones who would gladly swallow
Everything their leader would have them know
Bowing and kissin' while the truth goes missin'
"Bring it on," he crows, puttin' on his big show
This isn't for the man who can't count the bodies
Can't comfort the families, can't say when he's wrong
Playin' "I'm the decider," like some sort of Messiah
While another day passes and a hundred souls gone
[Chorus]
This is for the ones that I see above me
Three little stars in a great big sky
Light for the world and hope for the weary
They try
This isn't for the ones with their radio signal
Callin' for bonfires and boycotts, they rave
Exhorting their listeners to spit on the sinners
While countin' the bucks of advertising, they'll say
[Tag Chorus:]
This isn't for you and you know who you are
Just do what you want 'cause I know that you can
But I gotta be true to myself and to you
So on with the song, I don't give a damn
