The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

Oh, the Rickeybird is our very own Cantankerous Old Man. Heā€™s holding our beloved Auntie Gail to her promise to take care of him forever by becoming immortal. At an age when other Patagonian condorsā€¦I mean conuresā€¦are pushing up the daisies, he is still shouting. He shouts at the ā€œworkersā€ to get off his lawn, he shouts at Gailā€¦literally, he shouts ā€œGail! Gail! Gail!ā€ all the live-long day, and who knows what gentle murmurs he lets fall upon the Rivalā€™s ears? The Rival of the Rickeybird, being subject to PF posting guidelines, cannot say. But we wonders, we does. We wonders.

Don't worry Rickey, Gail loves you too much to let them take you! I'm sure if they do they'll return you soon after you show them who's boss!

Life goes on just outside the window.
Like flicker movies, the show is there to view.
Regardless of what they are doing, there is another reason to be created. As they are in fact a side story within your True Story!!
Enjoy RB!
After all, they are but props in your World!
 
Geez, Boats. When you turn your venerable rhetoric lose, a humble scrapbook sounds like War and Peace! The Rb becomes Tolstoy. Thank you!

Laura... it's a combination of being retired, having a lot of time, and living only a mile or two from the local lawn and garden store. And beyond that, it's a question of taste and the march of Humanity. Less taste, more odyssey, in this case.

Onwards!
