on having dominion over nature

Something has been bothering me
about Birds & Blooms magazine. At first I found the photos of good quality if a little too much in focus. But gradually I've come to feel that the world of that publication is generally just a little too perfect for me.

"I shall not dwell in that bird-house of a (painted) gourd forever."

Sic-biblical, and sick.

My subsription is cancelled. It's just a little too cute here at the raccoon news when the glossy Readers Digest-owned magazine starts rose-mauling stove pipe sections to thwart bird-seed-loving raccoons.
