Took me a second too. Look at what the bird is writing with.

Oh. I had that thought, but dismissed it because "So what? Birds lose feathers as we lose hair, so they obviously should have some lying around."

YOU try plucking what's basically a large ass hair and see if you're still so cavalier about your correspondence 😛

I can search under the bed, where the broom doesn't reach, to get plenty of hairs. Ass and others.

A viking hippie talks about structural integrity. What a crazy world we live in.

I'll have you know that the Viking descendants from whose loins I sprang both grew up on farms and the paternal one is a former hardware store salesman and DIY expert who taught me a thing or two 😄
