Y'all,

Out earlier flanking a post around the birdhouse to keep the sparrows
away.

Missy had me putzing around with some flowers and I wasn't paying enough
attention to the birdhouse. A sparrow sneaked into one of the apartment
holes in the purple martin condominium.

Grabbed up the water hose, set the nozzle to "Stun", and brought weapons
to bear on the entrance hole barring his escape. Everytime he'd stick
his head out to escape, I'd turn him a backflip back inside.

He finally quit poking his head out. I kept shooting.

Finally figgered he'd had enough. Lowered the birdhouse and found one
drownded-dead sparrow.  That'll show 'em!

Hey . . .  it don't rank up there with killing whales but whales are
pretty scarce this time of year in our lake.
