the Face of Everyman was only slightly troubled by the results of his secret pigeon breeding program at the Foggy Bottoms Resort an Spa. It was Larry, with the white flashes on his back. Could this be the “wrinkled peas” effect that the old Friar Gregor Mendel warned him about? The venerable sage quickly reviewed his lab notes.
Security Analyst
Sheldon had an inquiring mind but he wasn’t sure he wanted to be a security analyst here at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The job was more that of a research assistant to the Face of Everyman. It required checking leg bands and colored rings worn by guests. The venerable sage never revealed why migration data was important. Who even knew the location of this remote spot along the Pacific Flyway? Most folks just stumbled upon it. http://brdbander.blogspot.com/
Ablutions
Momma was a strong believer in cleanliness. Baby Silvester was trying to be good boy but the waters of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa felt like ice. She kept insisting that he scrub behind his ears. Dad was dripping wet and his teeth were chattering which only added to the drama of the family’s morning ablutions. the Face of Everyman tried to look away.
Mediation
At long last the Face of Everyman had agreed to mediate disputes between the pigeons and the squirrels. A new sense of peace embraced the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Simply put: Nuts and dried fruit were for the squirrels while millet seed and cracked corn were for the pigeons. Deer, small birds and mice were not covered under this hastily ratified treaty.
Dance
Svetlana had hung up her ballet slippers and retired to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. But, at the urging of the Face of Everyman, she would once again dance the twin roles of Odette and Odile in the classic Swan Lake. The venerable sage expected an SRO audience.
Manners
Word spread thru out the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa that the Face of Everyman had expanded his classes in royal etiquette. Posture, dance and polite conversation were popular subjects.
Wedding
Doreen received an invitation to the wedding of Harry and Meghan. No one was sure how the request for her presence found its way to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa but now she had to learn the proper way to curtsy. Who better to instruct her in court procedures than the Face of Everyman?
Tula
This archived photo of Tula is posted to remind followers that she exists and still prowls the vast grounds of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman enjoys her company if, of course, he is not napping.
Field Strip
The County Chain Gang had been assigned to clean up the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa after the storm. But, as usual, they left a bigger mess. Seen above is a frequent and prominent guest picking his way thru tobacco shreds after the smokers had been instructed to field strip their cigarettes and leave no trace of the butts. the Face of Everyman regretted that he had invented the filter tip. https://tinyurl.com/ybgmjez3
Baby Huey
No one was quite sure who was the first hatchling of the New Year at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa but the parents of Baby Huey made sure that his photo appeared on the front page of the local paper. The photo brought smiles to most folks faces. the Face of Everyman never did understand why all the fuss; eggs hatched and nestlings fledged almost daily. Where do you draw the line?
