Beer soaked ramblings follow.

I graduated from Lehman College on June 2, 1994...

Man my joints are hurting.
It must have that garlic powder I added to the fried eggs earlier.
It did contain ingredients other than pure garlic.
Yes, that must be it.

If tuition is expensive there, I hope they offer Lehman aid.

… I hope they offer Lehman aid.

I think Sir Jonah drank it all.

 

[Steven G]

I don't think he drinks Lehman aid or lemon aid.

Have ya ever tried a drunken Arnold Palmer? Lemonade with Sweet Tea Vodka. Lovely summer beverage.

Sloppy typing.
Unfortunate side effects of mixing antiallergy meds with beer; forgot to insert "been".

Man, I'm tired of the crows stealing so many peanuts. I try to be fair, distributing more or less equally among squirrels, Steller's jays and crows. Yet, once a crow sounds notice, the extended family swoops in quickly -- taking as much as they can grab.

Little black pigs with wings, they are.

Caffeine influenced ramblings follow.
Smart birds. Them crows are really smart.
A large part of the human population has some unpleasant reaction from peanut consumption. I get gout from it. Had to exclude it totally from my diet.
I'm wondering if it's the same with birds and squirrels. I remember seeing clips of an elephant where the narrator said the poor animal has arthritis.
I imagine it must be from all the peanut consumption.
It feels strange to be under coffee's influence after avoiding it for a long time.
The initial feeling of being one with the universe is very much pronounced and quite annoying.

I can't speak for birds and squirrels but working with horses I can tell you that they certainly have allergies.

Sometimes it's even down to a particular few bales of the same type of hay they always eat.

What's the usual manifestation of allergies with horses?
Is it a sneezing fit of some kind like most people?

usually hives, or sometimes their mouth and tongue will swell up

… I get gout from [peanut consumption] …

I haven't heard that one, before. The only gout mechanism I'm familiar with is too much uric acid in the blood. That results from ingesting too many purines. Peanuts are actually low in purines, so it's interesting to think how your body's peanut reaction could mimic the usual pathway.

I've eliminated most gout episodes through dietary changes, too. For me, the two worst foods seem to be processed meats and canned sardines/mackerel.

By the way, beer has the highest purine content of any beverage.

Hence, no more beer and meat-lover's pizza for me. (One of my annoying realities.)
