by a spastic hunchback detective on rails urging him to confess with metal jaws going “graff-graff” every 2 seconds he managed to retain all 10 clever fingers and perhaps a soul At the end all the submissive hymning roar of machines praised him for what he was took him for master and lord mechanic of their metal destiny until one afternoon he shoved a pipe-wrench into closing jaws and heard them groan out steel blood and shriek once for their anthropomorphic god Fired he went into the street laughing picked up a woman near Main & Hastings paid her $5 and went to bed and sobbed himself to sleep…

Today, some fun new visitors came by, more native Sparrows. Three American Tree Sparrows, which look a lot like Chipping Sparrows but have a distinct dot on the chest and a two-colored beak, and again the White-Throated Sparrows. It remains cold, I hope to see the Fox Sparrow again too.
