A round of Robins swept in ahead of the scorned European Starling. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was open to all except when guests took matters into their own hands. the Face of Everyman decided to let matters be. Besides, Starlings were as rowdy as Frat Boys at a kegger. 
Service Dog
The Warning System was down for routine maintenance so, of course, anybody could walk right in to the fabulous Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman judged this beast to be a common “household pet.” The venerable sage held his breath until all danger seemed past. Within minutes the warning system was up and running on high alert. Everyman wondered if there was a reward posted for this Service Dog? Could anybody claim it? 
Lattes
Henrietta was the first to complain about the Face of Everyman’s pumpkin-spiced lattes. He was surprised, after all he had taken the Grabajava Culinary School online course for baristas. All the ingredients were fresh and the best. Perhaps he shouldn’t use water directly from the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa; but bottled water seemed so costly. With a shrug the venerable sage turned to his next test product: Turkey-spiced lattes.
Detritus
Roscoe had one annoying habit: he discarded the shells of the Sunflower seeds on the Face of Everyman and anywhere else in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa that he pleased. The venerable sage tried to explain basic etiquette but soon gave up and merely asked Roscoe to remove the husks blocking his vision.
Behemoth
Technical difficulties prevent new material from being posted. This photo, an earlier post, will show the stark terror seen in the eyes of the Face of Everyman as he is confronted by this unwelcome guest at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The behemoth eventually left but the venerable sage had bad dreams for several nights thereafter.
Concentration
Once again, but briefly, the Face of Everyman forgot about his power over gravity. Seen below is a guest at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa trying to land only to be thwarted. After a profound apology by the venerable sage everyone tried to forget his awkward senior moments. Were his unparalleled powers of concentration failing?
Marquess of Queensberry
Diminished daylight triggers rutting behavior in some local bad boys at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Back alley skirmishes tested new leaders. Does awaited the outcome of each event. the Face of Everyman had adapted the Marquess of Queensberry Rules to permit open field combat. Using a super computer the venerable sage was predicting an early Rut before the October 27th New Moon. Casinos were offering a betting line.
Rehab
As the Sun neared the Equinox Rocky became confused; his internal clock had slipped a cog and he began foraging mid-afternoon. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa usually dealt with such anachronisms by having the Face of Everyman loan a Timex watch to those effected. A few days is all it took for patient rehab.
The Blessing
Proud parents brought their first born son Quillon to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. They were eager for the Face of Everyman to give the child a blessing. Unfortunately the young lad, quite literally, stepped on the lines of the venerable sage, muffling ancient words of praise and protection. Maybe they’d have better luck next week with an itinerant Shaman.
Required Reading
Wally was the first to spread the news about the demise of songbirds in North America. the Face of Everyman had hoped to keep this upsetting news from his guests at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Alas, there was no one thing that the venerable sage could say. He decided to make this issue of Science required reading upon check in. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/365/6459/1228
