I had a crow in my yard today that was giving a very low cooing-type of sound. He would lower his head whenever he did it. At first I didn't know it was coming from the crow until I got my binoculars on it. Enough about birds. You ever get around middle-aged women when they talk about Victoria Secrets ? :-) :-) You ever listen to "old women when they talk about old men", as the country song goes. Sorry about that.....I'm not into cars and computer nerds.
