Crested Caracara

 

 

 

 

 

Like the black vulture, a southeastern scavenger, but even more southern.  Southern Arizona, South Texas, and a few in Florida.

 

 

You’re probably asking yourself,

 

 

…again, why isn’t Steve sending out more bird pictures?

 

Okay.  If you insist.

 

Black vulture.

 

 

It’s a lot like the Turkey Vulture, but while the turkey vulture is everywhere, the black vulture is more southeastern.

 

 

Went to check on the little church

 

 

Years ago, it looked like this.

 

 

Abandoned.

 

A couple years later, even more worse for the wear.

 

 

There were local efforts to save the church and rehab it, but help didn’t arrive in time.  The remnants of a hurricane blew it down.

 

 

That was the last insult.  Money was donated.  Volunteers rebuilt the little historic Guadalupe Toreros Church.

 

 

That was a couple years ago.  We took a driveabout today to see how it’s doing.

 

 

Fully functional and cared for.

 

This is how we play

 

 

…at the puppy park when there are other dogs there.

 

Pressed up against mom.

 

Livestreaming an execution?

 

 

The FBI has a Violent Crime Section.

 

“If an actual murder, kidnapping, or physical assault is recorded and distributed, the FBI investigates the case as a violent crime, homicide, or civil rights violation.”

 

Just saying…

 

 

Two cars

 

 

Comfortably tucked in.

 

Just the right amount of room between them.

 

But now that we can get them both in side by side, we can see how much the carport roof doesn’t fully cover the outside car.  Now that the support has been extended, it’s time to extend the carport roof out that extra distance as well.  That will finish up the job properly.

 

The Gateway Arch

 

 

From a post in the way.

 

 

To wide open.

 

An east west beam to support the north south beam, and the bothersome post is gone.

 

Plenty of room for two cars side by side.  Perfectly functional.

 

And now that it’s built, we can see exactly what else to do to make it just right.
