"It was a dark and stormy night. The great fish moved silently through the night water, propelled by short sweeps of its crescent tail. If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Cormorant kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. Over the weekend the cormorants got into the presidential palace by pecking through the screens on the balcony windows and the flapping of their wings stirred up the stagnant time inside, and at dawn on Monday the city awoke out of its lethargy of centuries with the warm, soft breeze of a great awk dead and rotting grandeur." -- Bob (with apologies to Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Peter Benchley, J D Salinger and Gabriel Garcia Marquez) > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bob W" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "'Pentax-Discuss Mail List'" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 9:29 PM > Subject: RE: Ernesto - a man with the camera > > > >> > >> Doug Brewer wrote: > >> > > >> > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7l6Pe0CKsg > >> > > >> > >> Still one of the most bizarre uses of a domesticated animal. > >> > > > > but can any cormorant be said to be truly domesticated?
