Few things

I had a dream a few nights ago about fundus complete with a moving diagram
Are you familiar with fundi?
Fundus means, bottom, in Latin
There are fundus in the brain, eye, gallbladder, stomach, uterus and sea beds
If I had to pick, I guess my favorite fundus is in the stomach

Last night I went outside and heard a repeating high pitch sound
I decided to investigate, maybe it's a little bird, maybe it's a small animal
The sound became louder next to some leaf bags on the street and deduced
that a bird fell into one and couldn't get out
Just as I was about to look in the bag
an owl flew up from the ground and roosted in a tree next to the bags
I saw the barred stripes on its chest
Barred owl!
We stared at each other for a bit, well, I think so, the owl's face was obscured by shadows
Then it bounded with spread wings around the branches as I tried to get a better look.
I decided to give Owl space so I waved goodbye and started back to the house
I heard another squeak and looked over my shoulder to see the great silent wings flying southeast across the street towards a big conifer.

Quotes by me, so famous:

Everyday is a little less, everyday is a little more.

It's usually both and a few other things.

I'm still a quivering anxious mess over our future.  I took a trip down south and saw Trump signs and Confederate flags scattered here and there, but mostly I got to enjoy the scenery and pretend that nothing is happening.

Today I will do what Google says and celebrate Louisa May Alcott's 184th birthday.  Here are some cool quotes of hers:

I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.

Love is a great beautifier.

Housekeeping ain't no joke.

Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.

He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.

A little kingdom I possess, where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard the task I find of governing it well.

We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.
