Death From Above
Yes, it is tragic. After Duck Force 9 made it through the winter without any attrition (expected coyotes to hit in February), and they were roaming far and wide to free range quite well, disaster struck within a few minutes span of time.
All that was left of three ducks was one corpse from the belly up. Well, and a whole lot of feathers. Eagles are the suspects. I envision it was Mama, Papa, and Baby Eagle as two bodies were gone altogether, but the third was hacked off from midsection down (probably all the younger eagle could carry).
And, it happened fast! My wife saw them all at the pond behind their shed when she left for town. Coming back 20 minutes later she commented that there seemed to be a dead duck in the yard.
Forensics indicates that the first got it right next to the pond. The second heading towards the front of the shed (trying to get away). And, the last right in front of the shed. The remaining six were, of course, in the shed quivering in fear.
So, now we need to be careful of "Death From Above". Losing 3 ducks in a few minutes time is one thing, if it happens again and then again, there will be no more ducks!
So Duck force 9 (scratch that), uh, 6, only gets out for a brief period of time each day while there is a Guard to watch out.
First day we did this, my wife cried out an alert to an aerial predator! But, it was a hawk, and, I think, way too small to threaten a duck.
Oh well, sigh, such is country life...

Diabetes really sucks!
I hate having to take two shots a day of insulin. Even though the person who trained me on what it means to be diabetic with regular insulin shots, herself, required five shots a day (when asked, she responded, "it is either that or die"). I blanched when she clarified that the needle does not go in at an angle, "Oh no! It has to go straight in all the way." Crap! My fear, or reluctance, of sticking needles into myself was one reason I had delayed in going beyond pills (although my doctor was pushing) for so long.
As it turns out, with a little experience and probing, you can actually find spots to insert the syringe without (sometimes) any pain. Other spots are not too bad. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems like it takes four or five tests to find the right spot.
Sure, sometimes I just say to heck with it and push the needle to completion, even though it hurts. What I do not do though is just randomly push it in somewhere. Because when it hurts, there are spots where it will hurt ALOT!
It is always a temptation to skip a shot, but this is a mistake as it does seem to build up in the system.
Of course, as it is type 2 diabetes, I always hold onto the hope that something will make it go away. I am trying to lose weight. Just hope it isn't like a dead pancreas syndrome or something.

Autistic Son Loses Some Weight
Yay! Our teenage son, who is severely autistic, weighed in 20 pounds less than before! We have been very concerned as his weigh continued to climb with no end in sight. It is very difficult to regiment and discipline someone with OCD (which is a typical ailment for Autistics). But, everyone involved in his daily care has been trying to get him to eat healthier foods (and less of it) combined with increased physical activity. It seems to be having a positive effect! Yay!

Comfortable Strapless Bras That Do Heavy Duty Work
My wife is rather large up top and has trouble finding a good bra to do the job. Well, yesterday she found this site: www.plussizestraplessbras.net and bought a few prizes!
She got two Glamorise Women's Complete Comfort Strapless Bra and a Sexy Convertible Strapless Bra (rararrr! LOL). Needless to say, she is very happy right now.
