the Invention of PlaStick

one of my surprisingly lasting activities is feeding the birds out side, or more accurately, putting food in the feeders, they can eat by them selves. so when one of the feeders i set on the window with those clear suction thingies fell down, I rushed to fix it about 3-4 weeks later and found that the little vacuum thingies are gone! the plastic container was there, bu which evil chip monk has taken my vacuum thingies, where do you get vacuum thingies? (they came with the device). I also got all the way from Baltimore, a kind of stick that you can put in the grass and hang stuff from it, such as a bird feeder, but these cheap things brake by clever squirrels, so i went looking for the last broken one and it is not there, are the rodent working in parallel with amazon to get me to buy more cheap feeders? its a conspiracy, while roaming the yard i did find a huge branch that lucky didn't fall on any thing of value and a big pointy plant that we didn't plant, most bizarre.
so with a stick that nothing hangs from and a plastic container with not vacuum thingies, came a new invention of plaStick , the container is proudly hanging from the stick, i give it three days at best, less if the squirrels are feeling more destructive then usual.
 
even less if the bear gets it, well, apparently there is a bear in my town, a real one roaming out side somewhere in the woods, a black bear (not that it matters which one) , it must have come from the Appalachians, they get to this area rarely and now there is one out there. i have not seen it, but maybe i should drive around and get lucky (or eaten which is lucky for the bear). there is a hunt for it, i hope they move it and not kill it, bear beware!
 
on a lighter note, we found a way to transform a sonata to a six - after long debates with car people trying to replace Alla's AC less vehicle with something more current, we went back and forth trying to get the best deal, and then deciding not to decide, till we finally decided on a Hyundai sonata, the dealer ship didn't have the car in the lot and we waited for it and then another dealer emailed me and I gave a wild offer of taking a Mazda 6 (costs more) for the same price, and lucky (or not) they said yes. in my searches we looked at smaller cars and didn't research the bigger class at all , so miss assumed, with the last day of buying before the rates change(monthly thing) we fell in to the 2nd oldest trick in the book and bought under pressure. after long time of planning ,we through it aside and got a Mazda 6. not a bad car or a bad price but later we noticed it didn't have the 5 star safety rating. we don't have luck with cars, or at least with buying them, but done is done, the important things is that Alla has a working AC and a CD player (i think her last car had a record player)
 
well that is what's new for us
 
happy 65th dad, happy 38th shay
 
cheers
and see ya in late December in an Israel near you
