Full Moon Rising, December 12, 2008, Twiltley Branch Campground, Collinsville MS
Tomorrow I'm heading out. My stay here has been really pleasant and I'll miss being on the water. I'd stay longer but the holidays are getting close and I need to find someone to do the front end alignment I've been putting off and putting off before everyone gets distracted with holiday cheer. LD's front tires are not happy campers. I need to get this attended to before I put on many more miles.

Alex Can Spell
Not very long ago, Dr. Pepperberg began trying to teach Alex and another gray parrot, Griffin, to sound out phonemes, which are the sounds that letters and letter combinations represent. English has forty phonemes altogether. She and her colleagues wanted to see if the birds understood that words are made out of letters that could be recombined to make other words, so they started training the birds with magnetic refrigerator letters.
