You beat me to it. That’s what I get for going out for coffee.

I like the parrot. I especially like the idea of Bogie perched on Joe’s surfboard talking to him. Does Bogie ever get caught in the soup? Or does Bogie flap and fly above it, just before the wave breaks?

That’s what my parrot, Humphrey, always did in my youth when I would take him surfing at Steamer Lane.

He was a very smart parrot, but died of a heart attack ten years ago at the age of 102. I miss him.

Just saying…

I had a great aunt who was given a beautiful parrot who lived to the incredible age of 80!!

I guess I always figured things just came up through the friends you make that are local but I’m wondering how you find the people you find. Are you finding lots of other avenues you are not taking?
Sorry if you’ve answered this already.
Also, glad to see the quality of this one looking better than the other iphone posts.

THis is great example of family extending to our non-human friends:)
