Still cold and rainy in south bend. I went to a book shop to get a book to read and ended up with three. Hunter Thompson, a spanish guy and opus. opus is a comic that has recently replaced get fuzzy as my favorite comic.

There was a gospel choir in the book shop. A bit bizarre but very nice.
Liverpool won the FA cup. Yippee! So all I want now is for Sweden to win the world cup and for MFF to win the swedish league.
Because of the cold weather I had a bit of moral dilemma yesterday. A pair of birds have set up home in my aircondition unit. I can sit on my balcony and watch them fly in and out to feed the little ones. They seem to eat an unbelievable amount. Being a parent must be the most ungrateful thing in the world. You spend all your energy in keeping your children fed and worn and they grow ap to be ungrateful teenager who hat you... Back to my dilemma. Over the last couple of weeks the birds have been living in my aircondition which has been turned off since it was not cold or warm so there was no need for it. So I was not really sure what would happen to the little birdies if I turned it on. Would they just be a bit annoyed by the sound or would they be turned into minced meet by the fan? I could not see exactly where they where so it was hard to tell. Yesterday evening the temperature in my flat started to become uncomfortably low and the cold weather is supposed to continue for another couple of days. What to do? Endure a freezing flat and be warmed by the feeling of helping out some poor birds or turn the heating on and risk turing the same poor birds into pulp. Needless to say I turned the heating on (because that's just the kind of guy I am!)
I am happy to report that this morning after I got out of bed, in my nice and warm apartment, and opened my balcony door I could see mama and papa bird still flying into to my aircondition unit with worms in their mouth. So I guess the big fan did not kill off those birds after all. How do you say it? All well that ends well!?
