“Stop abortion at the source. Vasectomies are reversible. Make every young man have one. When he’s deemed financially and emotionally fit to be a father it will be reversed. What’s that? Did the idea of regulating a man’s body make you uncomfortable? Then mind your f**king business.”

Yes…ears full of pleasure…loved your title. The woods have been especially alive with birdsong this spring. It’s as if three dozen birdsongs are always singing in your head. Beautiful.

Love your title. In my neck of the woods (more like my neck of the Bay) we keep the windows wide open at night, so first thing we hear at 5:30 ish am is the song of the duck and the egret, the pelican and the seal. They make a most welcome wake-up alarm.
