Good news is that our blackbird is back from moulting vacation and has been hiding in the bushes and practicing his songs sotto voce. He came back about three days ago. I’m not sure of exactly where he went but probably into some nearby forest setting where he could escape scrutiny and still survive on insects and berries while his feathers grew back in ready for the cold weather to come now in Fall and Winter. But unfortunately   his mate and one of his babies died this hot summer, probably from the heat. Two of the babies survived in our garden and flew away around the same time he did. Hopefully they have been able to get a nice full growth of feathers which will prepare them too for the cold weather to come. Of course I’m looking forward already to the end of the dark time and the return of Spring.

Meanwhile today you will get a whole lot of Seymour Hersh telling you the truth about the killing of Bin Laden, and much much more.

Another episode of SUDS, the ultimate soap opera at the end of the hour, and all the music today is by the late great Tom Petty.

It has been cold and rainy the last couple of days, with lots of wind, so I have had to adjust my choice of clothes. Up until a few days ago I was wearing shorts around the house and in the garden but today was real jacket weather. I had to ride my bike to the other side of town and I got spattered with occasional drops of rain driven by a very strong wind. And yet, on my way home I had to wear my sunglasses because of the setting sun, and even after I reached the lake where the clouds had gathered and some raindrops were spitting at me, I kept my glasses on so that I wouldn’t get my eyes blurred by the raindrops. If it continues to get cold – and it will – I’ll have to change into my Winter clothes and maybe even wear rain gear (which I don’t like because it makes me sweat and get wet from the inside while it’s keeping me dry from the outside). Anyway, the dark days are coming and we all have to be prepared.

Seymour Hersh has seen plenty of darkness in our days and he is here to tell us all about the darkness and the people responsible for it.

And of course Tom Petty continues to entertain us with his excellent excellent music.
 
Enjoy!

I’ll talk to you again later.
