I wonder if you throw a roll of
toilet paper out in the middle of a
Walmart parking lot if people would
fight over it like seagulls fighting over
French fries.
I saw my neighbor out there
last week scraping the “My kid is a terrific student” off
her minivan. Guess that all of that homeschooling stuff
didn’t go so well.
Entered what I ate yesterday into my new fitness
app and it just sent an ambulance to my house.
So on the flip side, Diet Day #1 — I removed all
the fattening food from my house. It was delicious.
I eat my tacos over a tortilla. That way when stuff
falls out, BOOM, another taco.
Speaking of tacos, I’ve just written a song about
tortillas - actually, it’s more of a rap.
I got gas for $1.39 the other day. Unfortunately, it
was at Taco Bell.
It was only when I was chased by that buffalo
in Yellowstone National Park when I found out that
adrenaline is brown.
Letter to the Buzz
To wear one or not to wear one
Dear Buzz,
It’s so simple that even a Democrat or Socialist
should be able to understand the situation most
Republicans understand and agree. Everyone
should be responsible for their own actions. We do
not need government intervention. If you feel safe
don’t wear a mask in public, don’t wash your hands
thirty or forty-seven times a day, don’t co-mingle
closer than six feet and don’t have a picnic with
more than ten people.
If you feel threatened when in public simply
wear a mask, wash your hands incessantly, practice
anti-social distancing and if you have a family
reunion with fifty or more people divide yourselves
into five separate groups and go to five separate
picnic areas.
Most of all don’t get angry with a person wearing
a mask. He/she is only protecting themselves from
you....it’s his/her choice. And those of you who aren’t
wearing a mask don’t make fun of those who are.
They’re only trying to protect you from them just in
case they have the virus....it’s their choice. Just thank
them and go merrily and safely on your way.
A concerned citizen,
TIFNF, TFL.

Montana Tales & Trails
Stop and Appreciate the Songbirds
by Bruce Auchly
There is something about songbirds this time of year
that can catch the ear, eye and heart of even the most
preoccupied person.
It doesn’t matter where: mountain tops, middle of the
prairie, downtown, uptown.
It doesn’t matter what you call them: tweety birds,
little brown jobs, neotropical migrants.
Songbirds are nesting, raising young and – at least the
males – singing their blessed little hearts out.
Sure a dedicated birder with keen hearing can tell the
difference between the songs of a savannah sparrow and
vesper sparrow. Or with a quick glance through binoculars
identify a chestnut collared longspur atop a bit of sagebrush
at 100 yards.
Good for those bird watchers who rise at dawn and
drive lonely country roads to look, listen and count.
For the rest of us, sometimes appreciation is just the
ability to be in the moment. Stop. Look around. Listen.
The best time of year for skiers might be the first
heavenly dump of powder; for anglers it might be the
salmon fly hatch; for locavores the farmer’s market.
But maybe the best time of year for everyone is today.
In reality, listening for the musical notes of a songbird
in town is difficult and not just because of our manmade
sounds. English house sparrows and European starlings,
neither of which is native, can drown out and drive out
many native songbirds. And not many of us would
list the songs of house sparrows as melodic; too much
monotonous chirping.
Even so, in Montana’s largest cities there are still
mourning doves cooing and yellow warblers singing out
their “sweet, sweet, summer’s sweet.”
Yes, technically mourning doves are not songbirds.
But they are native and produce a wonderful cooing, or
mourning sound, that’s often associated with cool summer
mornings.
The best bet is head to the outskirts of town,
whether to the forest, prairie or along a river. Take a pair
of binoculars, a good bird book, and maybe a bottle of
mosquito repellant.
Then, do as your mother probably asked of you; sit
down and be quiet.
Within a few minutes the air will fill with a symphony
of shrill notes, pulsing trills and jingling, metallic melodies.
Shortly thereafter, a bit of bright color will likely glance
nearby.
The best time of day is dawn, but even midmorning
can work. Mostly what you will look for and listen to are
the males. They are flashy as they try to attract females to
them, and they sing with the same purpose in mind.
Just a few ounces of feathers and bones, yet songbirds
could give lessons to opera singers. And without meaning
to, they make our day better. They pay us no mind, but
their voices give us dividends.
Here’s a warning, though, don’t wait, don’t put off a
chance to brighten your day. Some of those wonderful little
bits of feathers will be heading south in a couple of months.
Make now the moment. Carpe diem.
 Question: Why don’t
the French eat snails?
Answer: They don’t
like fast food.
