There was often a race to see who could find the choicest morsels of birdseed distributed by the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman was at a loss as to how to circumvent this wrongful use of good feed.
Race
Horror
There were no mourners at services held yesterday for our dearly departed brethren; taken so early by a reportedly Sharp Shin Hawk. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa is not usually targeted by raptors. Cats are a threat; but seldom kill or maim a guest. the Face of Everyman tried to get the image of this horror out of his mind.
Jealous
the Face of Everyman was oddly jealous of whoever had lured away the songbirds with better largesse. His only fault, as he saw it, was trying to stay within the paltry budget of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.
Limelight
Ralph considered his reflection. Did he need a haircut before the Cornell Labs photographer snaped his picture for their files? The Lab considered the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa a prime bird watching site and annually promoted photo contests. the Face of Everyman basked in the limelight.
Confession
Henretta made her confession to the Great Mother of Life at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. She had snuck into the village florist shop for a few quick hits of nectar. the Face of Everyman hopped that her punishment would not be too harsh.
Tea Garden
the Face of Everyman decided to call his new guest Pogo. He thought of inviting him for tea, but the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa had shuttered its tea garden for the Winter. Maybe in the Spring.
Low Tide
Low tide always attracted the curious to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman wondered what could be so interesting in looking at this phenomenon.
Clean Up
In the end, it was the Deer who cleaned up the birdseed in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman had a sense of helplessness.
Comedians
Whipsaw and Bandwidth were vaudevillian comedians who wintered at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman gave them the Professional Rate and they did a couple weekend shows for free to try out their new material.
Crows
The Crows had returned to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. It seems that they had been scouting labor picket lines for cast-off fast-food items. the Face of Everyman had nearly balanced his food budget during their absence.
