The Night Heron didn’t let me get very close to it before it took flight this morning.

Go Ask Teagan
Teagan’s vocals on White Rabbit are flawless. Click on the image to see her video.
Teagan is celebrating her birthday with a tribute to Grace Slick by singing a cover of Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit, the iconic song based on Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland and associated stoies set to a relentless Spanish Paso-doble (Spanish march) rhythm. It is probably one of the best known songs from the psychedelic 60s.
I was nine or ten years old in 1968 or 1969 when I first heard White Rabbit played on a local radio station. Not being an avid Lewis Carroll reader at the time, I had no idea what the lyrics were about other than tripping. I actually thought it had something to do with Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant, which was released in 1967 a few months after White Rabbit, but I had heard Guthrie’s album before I heard “ White Rabbit” played on the radio.

We have received 0.44 inches of rain over the past three days. That’s as much rain as we received in the past three months.

Twenty Twenty-Five
Marble peeking out to see if Twenty Twenty-five looks safe!
Jeez, you all! Twenty Twenty-five kinda looks the same as 2024!
Belafonte danced in celebration of Twenty-Twenty-five.
Silver: Twenty-twenty-five? I think I feel that way in kitty age!
Glenda: I thought it was Twenty Twenty-five & Six Two Four or something like that?
Jack Sparrow had something to say about Twenty Twenty-five, but he forgot what it was.
Spunk: It’s Twenty Twenty-five, and what do we all get? Another year older and a whole lot of crap!
Marble: Twenty Twenty-five seems sorta safe now that the poor old, pathetic, poopy patrol paparazzo and the other bipeds have eaten their black-eyed peas!
Jake: Twenty Twenty-five? Does that mean more T&A*?
