It is still happening with measles. Samoa had 6 people die recently from measles and now there is a law that all must be vaccinated for school there

That used to be the law everywhere. I remember we had to have all of our shots to go to public schools when I was a kid.

I have been busy the last week or so. I got a couple paintings done and I am almost done making a tree skirt. We were also blessed with a new granddaughter yesterday and my daughter shipped off to basic training at Ft. Sill OK. She joined the NY Army National Guard. She will be gone for Thanksgiving but will be home for Christmas then goes back to finish up her basic and then on to AIT. She should be getting back home about August next year. I know it will be a long time for her to be away from her kids but she will make it.

Crows will chase off hawks, or so I have heard.

They do! We had one bedraggled hawk taking refuge on the stucco wall under our pine tree last week. I like the hawks as they mitigate the rabbit and rodent population. (Our chickens are safely ensconced, so no poultry loss.)

The crows harvested the pecans -- neighbors have let me know about the nutcracking taking place on their skylights -- and decimated my quail block in under 10 minutes. They take flights and settle in masses, so it's eerily like being on "The Birds" set as clouds of crows circle low overhead. The yard is now harvest-free and winterized, so they have moved off to elsewhere.

Awesome paintings! Congrats on the new grandchild! That's exciting!

They are a noisy nuisance, but they did clean up the yard!

Crows are supposed to keep the hawks away so good for encouraging them to stay around!

We do not have as many crows here in California. West Nile killed a lot of them
