    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

North Florida birds at the bird feeder

Over the last several days Connie and I have been watching the birds at the bird feeder outside our bedroom window, so every now and again I would grab the Sony RX10 IV and hope I didn't scare them off standing at the window trying to get video of them. There are still a few species I haven't been able to get because they are a bit to skittish, but overall the video below is a pretty good representative example.

The video is taken through regular window glass, and except for the very first clip, they didn't turn out too bad, all things considered. That 600mm zoom lens on the Sony really comes in handy for this sort of stuff.
