Hi Jim, I just read your post so haven't read the bird flu article yet. Last summer I had a bald eagle nesting fairly close to hour house. It was really awsome to watch. Journey North is a great site. I report all my spring sitings over there. You might also want to relate your encounter to Feathered Friends. Penny

lol! You like the same things I do! We went yesterday and it was fairly *packed*... long lines to wait for everything! You MUST see the arts & crafts entries in the Art & Home Center! (you'll see my winning baskets. lol!) The Horticulture building is interesting for a few minutes... though it's more commercial than it used to be, so didn't have the floral displays they used to! I love the Agricultural Museum... basket weaving (of course), broom making, dulcimer making, and so on. I always love the Raptor exhibit! definitely go to one of their shows (free). Expect it to be crowded, but they have bleechers this year. Bwana Jim's show was cute and interesting (also free), but again it was crowded and difficult to hear him. I thought this years' butter sculpture was much more primitive than usual. :( Those are my picks -- this year and every year. lol!

OT a little bit - is it just me or is this not kosher? Etsy rant
Q
Comments (23)
Storklady, It is okay to raise the price of something once it's listed. A Seller can change the price as often as they want, with no time restrictions. Etsy does not control or dictate to us what something is priced at - we do. There is no bidding on Etsy, except in Alchemy, which is a site on Etsy where customers can list something they want, a purple tutu, for example, and ask other Etsians to bid on what they would charge to make the purple tutu. Then Sellers are bidding against each other for that particular sale. Etsy is a "buy it now at this price" business. But I still think it's poor ethics not to honor the original price of an item that a potential buyer has just inquired about. Especially one who was asked to wait to review more listings of similar items because she'd shown interest in those other items before making her final purchase. If it had been me, I'd have sold you that map, and all the other newly listed maps that you were waiting for, at the original price. But that's just me. I am not an aggressive saleswoman, just a conscientious one. I like repeat business, and that's no way to encourage repeat business, IMHO.

Bragu - Iowa State fans always represented very well at the Big 12 basketball tournament in KC. They would take over a couple bars in old Westport and win or lose the fans would stay until the end of the tournament.

I wanted to write something witty in response to the Texas motto -- but I really do (only) speak English!...

Thanks for the laugh!

Slightly OT, the official state insect of Connecticut (yes, we have one!) is the praying mantis.

Now if that doesn't violate the separation of church and state, I don't know what does! ;)
