Cam and Tara update!
Hello friends and neighbors! I hope is all and well in your parts of the land. I just wanted to make a quick post and update everyone on whats been going on around the Heady home. The last few weeks have been good but different. As many of you know we have said farewell to our friends the Kings and are adjusting back to Sparta life with out them. My work is going really well right now and I really enjoy the group i'm working with alot more than my last place of employment. I still have this lingering question in the back of my mind sometimes whether i really want to do family medicine forever. Family medicine is a neat thing and gosh you basically see a little bit of everything walk thru the door. There is a lot of the same that can get boring but so much diversity that ultimately i think thats what makes me want to move on. I think deep down i have a desire to be really good at a few things. In family medicine lots of times your just pretty good at a lot of things. I would ultimately like a mix of medicine and not medicine employment i think. Find something that i just absolutely loved like a hobby that i could do while being a PA and still get paid some little something for it. Well on to my lovely wife... The last few days have been a struggle for my bride. Around 5pm on sunday night, I heard the dreaded words of..."My stomach feels funny" those words then progressed to "I think i'm dying" Much of her sunday night was spent looking very pale laying in the bathroom floor. yesterday was spent just vegging out on the couch with an occasional rumbly stomach but no throwing up so that was good. She was off to work today not a 100% but much improved. On a lighter note, many of you know that we have become quite the little bird ranch. We have two regular bird feeders, a finch feeder and a woodpecker suet. Well this morning i come and sit down at the computer only to see a little squirrel on top of bird house raiding our feeder. Not uncommon for that to happen really but don't want that going on here at the Heady Bird Sanctuary. So I grab my little Air Soft pistol and run to the door to fire off a shot. (okay squirrel lovers its not going to kill him so calm down) My first shot was horribly off and i figured well it will scare him off for awhile. Well evidently squirrels have like 3 minute memories cause he was right back almost before i got sat back down. Once again i missed horribly mostly because i was having to throw the door open and shoot before he moved. As most of you know i'm smarter than the average squirrel, so i propped the door open just enough to get my gun thru the door. Sure the first time like that i missed again but oh the second door shot Hit Center Mass. I think he was stunned actually that i hit him cause he sat there for like 2 seconds and then jumped to run for his life. I'm pretty sure if you flash forward 50 years this is what i will be doing all day then too. Course then i will just blow up the bird house cause i won't be able to see any detail just large fuzzy objects. I will let you know how the great squirrel adventures go but i think i have shown him who is the sheriff around these parts already. I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and try the new poll feature. so please vote.

Camo, put the pellet thingy away. I'll bring you on my .22's. The world is way overpopulated with squirrel's and the absence of one would equate to something like
.0000009% of the overall population. I promise you...if you don't set the standard your birds are coming to my house for grub!
if you miss with the .22 there is a building directly across the way that would be hit. that would be no good.... wait a min.. um.. dave can he borrow that after all?
