Today we're bringing you an episode with Esau McCaulley, from the Lenten season of 2023. Esau sees Lent as a practice of collective generational wisdom, passed down through centuries of sacramental rhythms—but as a contemporary reality, Lent is a spiritual rebellion against mainstream American culture. He construes Lent as a season of repentance and grace; he points out the justice practices of Lent; he walks through a Christian understanding of death, and the beautiful practice of stripping the altars on Maundy Thursday; and he's emphatic about how it's a guided season of pursuing the grace to find (or perhaps return) to yourself as God has called you to be. In his classic text, Great Lent, Orthodox priest and theologian Alexander Schmemann calls this season one of “bright sadness”—an important paradox that represents both Christian realism and hope. Lent is not about gloom, self-loathing, performative penitence, or despair. Instead it brings us face to face with our human condition, reminding us that we did not bring ourselves into being and someday we will die, sober about the reality and banality of evil, and sorrowful in a way that leads back to joy. Esau McCaulley is The Jonathan Blanchard Associate Professor of New Testament and Public Theology at Wheaton College, a contributing writer for the New York Times, and is author of many books, including children's books. Notables are Reading While Black, a theology of Lent, and his latest: How Far to the Promised Land: One Black Family's Story of Hope and Survival in the American South.

Show Notes Lent: The Season of Repentance and Renewal — https://esaumccaulley.com/books/lent-book/ Commodifying our rebellion—the agency on offer is a thin, weakened agency. Repentance, grace, and finding (or returning to) yourself Examination of conscience The Great Litany: “For our blindness to human need and suffering, and our indifference to injustice and cruelty. Except our repentance, Lord.” The beauty of Christianity “Liturgical spirituality is not safe. God can jump out and get you at any moment in the service.” “The great thing about the, the, the season of Blend in the liturgical calendar more broadly is it gives you a thousand different entry points into transformation.” Lent is bookended by death. Black death, Coronavirus death, War death. Jesus defeated death as our great enemy. “Everybody that I know and I care about are gonna die. Everybody.” “I, as a Christian, believe that because we're going to die. our lives are of infinite value and the decisions that we make and the kinds of people we become are the only testimony that we have and that I have chosen to, to, in light of my impending death, put my faith in the one who overcame death.” Two realities: We're going to die and Jesus defeated death. Stripping of the Altars on Maundy Thursday. Silent processional in black; Good Friday celebrates no eucharist. “I'm, like, the one Pauline scholar who doesn't like to argue about justification all of the time.” Good Friday's closing prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God, we pray you to set your passion cross and death between your judgment and our souls.” “You end Lent with: Something has to come between God's judgement and our souls. And that thing is Jesus.” “Lent is God loving you enough to tell you the truth about yourself, but not condemning you for it, but actually saying that you can be better than that.” Production Notes This podcast featured Esau McCaulley Edited and Produced by Evan Rosa Hosted by Evan Rosa Production Assistance by Macie Bridge, Luke Stringer, and Kaylen Yun.

Tune in here to this Tuesday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by reflecting on the State of the Union address. Stripping away what he calls the pageantry and spectacle, he argues that the event is fundamentally a constitutional obligation rather than the grand political production it has become. He then provides a historical overview of how the State of the Union has developed over time. We are joined by Danielle Alvarez of the Republican National Committee. Alvarez expressed enthusiasm ahead of President Donald Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address. She said the speech will not only review key achievements but also make a case for maintaining Republican majorities in Congress as the country approaches the midterm elections. She predicted that Trump will take on the role of storyteller, inviting individuals to the gallery whose lives have been positively affected by his policies.

fWotD Episode 3218: The Voices of Morebath Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 25 February 2026, is The Voices of Morebath.The Voices of Morebath: Reformation and Rebellion in an English Village is a 2001 non-fiction history book by the Irish historian of British Christianity Eamon Duffy and published by Yale University Press about Morebath, England, during the English Reformation of the 16th century. Using the detailed churchwarden's accounts maintained by Sir Christopher Trychay, the vicar of Morebath's parish, Duffy recounts the religious and social implications of the Reformation in a small conservative Catholic community through the reign of Henry VIII, during the violent 1549 Prayer Book Rebellion, and into the Elizabethan era. Trychay's accounts – first reprinted in 1904 – had been used in other scholarly works and were first encountered by Duffy during research for his 1992 The Stripping of the Altars on pre-Reformation English religion. The Voices of Morebath depicts both Morebath and Trychay through their strong early resistance to the Reformation to their eventual adoption of new religious norms under the Protestant Elizabethan Religious Settlement.The Voices of Morebath was praised for its coverage of ecclesiastical and secular parochial matters, particularly its personal treatment of Trychay. It drew criticism for instances where examples from Morebath are used to comment on broader subjects. Other reviewers commented that Duffy conceded the limitations of a local source. Though popular, some reviewers appraised the book as overly complex for the broad audience it had been written and marketed towards. In 2002, The Voices of Morebath won Duffy the Hawthornden Prize and the book was shortlisted for both the Samuel Johnson Prize and British Academy Book Prize.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:08 UTC on Wednesday, 25 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see The Voices of Morebath on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.
Denver fix and flip margins are shrinking, condo inventory just hit 11 months, and some DSCR lenders are approving loans at 0.75 debt service coverage. That’s not a typo. For anyone trying to get a clear Colorado real estate outlook for 2026, the signals are mixed — and most of them you won’t find in the MLS. To help make sense of it all, Chris Lopez sits down with Kevin Amolsch, founder of Pine Financial, a Colorado private lender that has originated over $1 billion in loans across 2,800 transactions since 2008. Beyond lending, Kevin is actively buying commercial buildings, demising flex warehouse space in Broomfield, and stripping cellular tower leases off office properties the way some investors strip mineral rights. As a result, he has a front-row seat to what’s actually working — and what’s quietly blowing up. In this episode, Kevin shares what Pine’s current deal flow reveals about the Colorado real estate outlook for 2026 and why he’s moved away from residential toward commercial assets. He and Chris also have a candid back-and-forth on the Denver price forecast — Kevin expecting flat, Chris leaning slightly negative. From there, they dig into why the condo and attached product market may be the riskiest place to be right now. In This Episode We Cover: Why Kevin sees fix and flip margins compressing — and what experienced flippers are doing about it The DSCR loan warning every Colorado investor needs to hear before refinancing a BRRRR Kevin’s honest breakdown of Denver’s 2026 price outlook: detached, attached, and multifamily How Kevin is stripping cellular leases off his office building like mineral rights — and what they sell for Why ground-up townhome development is struggling and what the 11-month condo inventory actually means The 10-year treasury vs. risk spread explained clearly, and what Trump’s MBS buying could actually do Why Kevin is price-checking his subs and vendors right now — and why you probably should be too If you’re trying to get a clear Colorado real estate market outlook for 2026 — and figure out what moves actually make sense right now — this is the episode to listen to.

In this special “Year of the Fire Horse” episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois deliver a wide-ranging and unfiltered analysis of the forces reshaping Canada's food economy — from stubborn food inflation to AI-powered grocery shopping, trade diplomacy, restaurant distress, and the surprising fall in cocoa and coffee prices.The episode opens with a deep dive into Canada's alarming 7.3% food inflation rate — the highest among G7 nations. Stripping out the temporary GST holiday effect, inflation still lands north of 6%, raising serious structural concerns about Canada's food supply chain. Sylvain outlines the real drivers: interprovincial trade barriers, industrial carbon taxes, logistics inefficiencies, supply management constraints, and geopolitical disruptions. The hosts challenge mainstream narratives and examine whether policy decisions — not just global pressures — are exacerbating affordability challenges.Shifting to trade, the duo assess Canada's renewed engagement with Mexico, highlighting opportunities for agricultural exports, food manufacturing expansion, and supply chain diversification under CUSMA. With U.S. agricultural groups openly supporting the trade agreement, the geopolitical chessboard around North American food trade is heating up.On the business front, Coca-Cola's $141 million expansion in Brampton underscores the importance of food processing capacity in driving economic resilience. Meanwhile, Diageo's Ontario investment announcement sparks debate about political optics versus substantive impact.Technology also takes center stage as Loblaw's integration with OpenAI signals the beginning of visible AI deployment in Canadian food retail. Michael explores how AI will disrupt food discovery, loyalty programs, and consumer personalization — while Sylvain raises concerns about algorithmic pricing, consumer trust, and the moral contract between grocers and shoppers.There's relief on the horizon: cocoa and coffee commodity prices are falling sharply from record highs, potentially translating into lower consumer prices later in 2026.The episode closes with sobering data from Restaurants Canada: 44% of restaurants are operating at break-even or loss levels — a stark reminder of how fragile Canada's foodservice sector remains. About UsDr. Sylvain Charlebois is a Visiting Professor in Food Policy and Distribution at McGill University and a Professor in Food Distribution and Policy in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

In this Conversion Monthly episode, the team takes on a real-world Amazon fashion listing -- a ladies jumper from Adam Jagger's clothing brand. Adam launched this knitwear product last year with strong initial sales, but the relaunch has stalled despite refreshed images and PPC data. Matt Kostan shares consumer feedback from Product Opinion videos revealing that shoppers found the secondary images too text-heavy and "fast fashion" looking, with inconsistent color rendering across photos. Dorian then presents a complete visual overhaul inspired by Zara's photography style -- low-angle shots, model-camera interaction, and stripped-back secondary images that let the product speak for itself. The result: a 45% improvement in click share during simulated testing, jumping from 11% to 16% against competitors. The episode is packed with actionable advice on fashion-specific listing optimization, the power of "less is more" in secondary images, and why pre-launch polling is essential in design-led categories. Key Topics Live listing teardown -- Adam Jagger's ladies jumper analyzed by the full Conversion Monthly panel Consumer video feedback -- What real shoppers said about the listing (color inconsistency, text-heavy images, fast fashion feel) Main image testing -- Baseline vs. Zara-inspired low-angle photography concepts Secondary image overhaul -- Stripping back text and adopting a premium, warm aesthetic Pre-launch polling -- Why design-led fashion products should be tested before manufacturing Selling through the female lens -- Understanding emotional and aspirational buying in women's fashion Timestamps [00:00] Introduction and welcome to Adam Jagger [01:24] Adam explains the product -- ladies jumper relaunch that stalled [02:28] Category rules -- how much creative freedom do clothing listings have? [03:45] Matt shares Product Opinion video feedback from real shoppers [07:25] Dorian's approach -- studying Zara and H&M for photography inspiration [10:30] The "less is more" philosophy for fashion secondary images [14:02] Matt reveals test results -- 11% to 16% click share improvement [19:22] Sim's take on AI-generated images and warmth in the image stack [20:39] AI-generated video concepts for sponsored brand ads [22:50] Adam's reaction and takeaways [26:17] Danny's deep dive -- cognitive overload, decision paralysis, and the female lens [37:31] Adam's final thoughts and next steps [38:30] Sim on pre-launch polling for design-led niches [40:47] Final roundup and upcoming Seller Sessions event announcement Key Takeaways Strip back your fashion images -- Text-heavy, icon-filled secondary images can make clothing look like fast fashion. Clean, warm, product-focused images convert better. Study leading brands for photography direction -- Dorian reverse-engineered Zara's low-angle, model-interaction photography style and applied it to the Amazon listing with a 45% click share improvement. Consumer video feedback reveals what data cannot -- Ten 4-minute shopper videos uncovered issues like inconsistent pink shading across images that no one on the team had noticed. Pricing inconsistency kills trust -- Having one color variation priced higher than others confused shoppers and reduced confidence in the listing. Poll before you launch in fashion -- For design-led categories, spending $100 on pre-launch testing can steer you away from a bad product or nail the positioning first time. Sell the transformation, not the features -- Women's fashion is an emotional, aspirational purchase. The listing should make the shopper feel "this could be me" rather than listing fabric specs. Beware of over-optimizing click-through rate -- Pushing CTR too hard can lead to image fatigue and diminishing returns. Balance scroll-stopping visuals with long-term brand consistency.

Kevin Green says unexpected China sales might have actually been a detriment to AMD (AMD) in its latest earnings report. "Stripping away" those figures he says AMD actually missed Street estimates, but he does underline strong demand for data centers and AI. Meanwhile, Supermicro (SMCI) saw its quarterly sales figures double and guidance suggests "sustained order shipments' with bigger customers such as Nvidia (NVDA). Enphase Energy (ENPH) is soaring after a beat and positive guidance. For Wednesday's session, KG says an elevated volatility index (VIX) is something to watch. He has 6980 to the upside and 6800 to the downside for levels to watch on the S&P 500 (SPX). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Release Info: Piem and Reza come together on “The Sound”, a rolling peak-time house cut built with one clear purpose: maximum impact on the dancefloor. Blending Piem's sharp, groove-led production style with Reza's deep-rooted house sensibility, the collaboration delivers a track that feels raw, direct, and primed for late-night club systems. Anchored by a tight, rolling low-end, “The Sound” unfolds with a driving lead and hypnotic chord patterns that lock dancers into its forward momentum. Lifted by MC-style vocal phrases that cut through the mix with attitude and urgency, the vocals act less as a topline and more as a rhythmic weapon — commanding, repetitive, and designed to keep energy levels pinned high. Stripping things back to the essentials while pushing the pressure forward, Piem and Reza strike a balance between classic house energy and modern peak-time execution. No frills, no filler — just groove, tension, and release. “The Sound” is a statement collaboration from two artists who understand exactly how to move a crowd when it matters most.

Season 09 Episode 12: “Puppy-Gate” and Stripping as a Side-HussleWARNING: This episode includes discussion on stripping as a trade – we advise listener discretionAlan reflects on the South Australian work-from-home ‘puppy-gate' test of law when a local government worker claimed worker's compensation for an injury she sustained while working from home. In this instance, she tripped over a puppy fence she'd installed in the home to segregate her puppy from a pet bunny.Here is the breakdown of the case:Initial Decision: The Local Government Association Workers Compensation Scheme (LGAWCS) rejected Ms. Vercoe's claim.The Appeal: Ms. Vercoe (the employee) appealed that decision to the South Australian Employment Tribunal (SAET).The Ruling: In October 2024, the SAET ruled in favour of Ms. Vercoe, finding that her injuries were compensable, arising from her employment.Appeal Decision (Full Bench of SAET): On 8 December 2025, the Full Bench of the SAET overturned their earlier ruling. The case was sent back to the original Tribunal member to reconsider and proper applications of the legal test.“But can you appeal an appeal?” Sara begs to know. Trajce replies, “Short answer is, yes, potentially anything; the apex of the court structure is The High Court.” Trajce and Sara engage in debate with Alan about the merits of work from home, or anywhere for that matter (W-F-A), and the legal tests of environmental and technical safety.For more information, refer to Vercoe v Local Government Association Workers Compensation Scheme (2024)Alan presents a second case from Victoria about a construction worker stripper with a thumb injury, a decision in the County Court of Victoria. Alan explains, “The decision was whether or not to grant leave of the courts to consider the case.” He leaves the team guessing about the sex of the worker and circumstances pertaining to the case.For more on these topics, tune in to:· S01 E03: Pets ‘n' Air Fryers· S01 E07: Design When we Work-From-Anywhere· S04 E02: The WooFA Work-From-Anywhere (WFA) Reality· S07 E10: That Old Chestnut – Pets & Work From Home

Distant water fishing fleets are operating just beyond national borders, pulling massive amounts of squid from the ocean with almost no rules, and this episode asks a simple but urgent question: can the new high seas treaty stop ecological collapse before it is too late? Off the coast of Argentina, hundreds of vessels gather in international waters to exploit a regulatory loophole, threatening a keystone species that supports whales, seabirds, and entire food webs. What happens here does not stay here, it affects global fisheries, biodiversity, and the seafood on our plates. High seas squid fishing has exploded in recent years, with satellite data showing fishing effort increasing dramatically while oversight remains weak. In this episode, I break down how squid fuel marine ecosystems, why their short life cycle makes them especially vulnerable, and how unregulated fishing in places like Mile 201 puts the entire South Atlantic at risk. I also explain what the new high seas treaty actually does, what it cannot do, and why enforcement and political will matter more than headlines. High seas treaty 2026 is often described as historic, but one surprising and deeply emotional insight from this episode is that the treaty does not automatically stop overfishing. It creates a toolset, not a safety net. Without coordinated action, transparency, and pressure on distant water fleets, the ocean could continue to be emptied in plain sight, even under a new global agreement.

What if breaking your family's silence was the first step to truly finding yourself? Author and educator, Dr. Joan Sung, joins Karena in Austin for a candid conversation about identity, intergenerational trauma, and what it really takes to prioritize mental health, especially within Asian American family systems. From the model minority myth to “tiger mom” dynamics, fetishization, and going “no contact”, Joan shares the tools, boundaries, and mindset shifts that helped her reclaim her story and raise her son with compassion and strength. She also opens up about therapy, inner-child work, and why an “emo tour” became her unexpected self-care.How do you heal when culture tells you to stay silent?

Trump's Deposition of Maduro: A Strategic Pivot for the Western HemisphereOn January 3, 2026, U.S. forces conducted a military operation in Venezuela, resulting in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and the effective end of his regime. energypolicy.columbia.eduThis action, directed by President Donald Trump, marks a significant escalation in U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America. Beyond immediate regime change, the move addresses longstanding concerns about foreign influence in the region, while promising humanitarian, security, and economic benefits. By removing Maduro, the U.S. aims to neutralize Russian and Chinese footholds close to its borders, alleviate a massive refugee crisis, enhance national security, and foster a prosperous trading partner in Venezuela. This fits into a broader Trump administration strategy to reassert U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere, as evidenced by actions in Panama and alliances with leaders like El Salvador's Nayib Bukele.Countering Undeniable Russian and Chinese InfluenceRussia and China have maintained substantial presences in Venezuela for years, using economic and military ties to expand their influence in the Western Hemisphere. Russia provided Venezuela with loans exceeding $17 billion, often repaid in oil, and supplied advanced weaponry, including air defense systems.

Are you simply waiting for Heaven, or are you living out the reality of your salvation today? In this powerful message, Pastor Chris Rieber dives into Colossians 3:1–10 to challenge the "waiting room" mentality of many believers. While the promise of eternity is secure, the Christian life is not meant to be a period of spiritual stagnation. Instead, we are called to actively "walk" in a transformed state of grace. Pastor Chris explores the profound shift that occurs when we surrender to Christ, unpacking the practical differences between our old nature—defined by sin and earthly desires—and our new nature, which is being renewed in the image of its Creator. In this episode, you’ll learn: -What it truly means to "set your minds on things above." -How to identify and "put to death" the habits of the old self. -The daily discipline of walking in a changed state of grace. -Why your identity in Christ is the key to living a successful, holy life. Join us as we move beyond resting in our salvation and begin thriving in the newness of life that Jesus provides. Key Scriptures Colossians 3:1–4: Setting our sights on Christ’s throne. Colossians 3:5–9: Stripping off the old self and its practices. Colossians 3:10: Putting on the new self, renewed in knowledge.

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Joe Kerns, a 30-year industry veteran and Iowa State University graduate who has worked across procurement, risk management, nutrition, hedging, livestock marketing, and operational benchmarking. Joe doesn't sugarcoat the situation—and his perspective raises uncomfortable but necessary questions about the future of U.S. agriculture, especially pork production.Joe explains why he believes the pork industry is on the brink of becoming “a serf to the packer,” tracing the roots back to the 1998 hog price collapse and the financial community's push for mandatory packer contracts. The result? The negotiated cash market has collapsed from roughly 17% in 2002 to around 1% today, leaving producers without meaningful price discovery and shifting risk almost entirely onto the farm.We also tackle the growing loss of faith in USDA reporting, including:Corn yield overestimations that led to bad marketing decisionsThe September 2024 hog supply miss that sent futures $20/head higherDeclining participation in USDA reports and what that means for accuracyHow flawed data distorts markets, hedging decisions, and producer confidenceBut this episode isn't just about problems—it's about opportunity.Joe outlines how producer-driven, anonymous data aggregation could flip the power dynamic back toward farmers. With enough participation, predictive analytics could unlock insights across genetics, nutrition, management, equipment, and animal health—turning farm data into a monetized advantage instead of a liability.We also explore:Why pork producers may actually be agriculture's quiet sustainability success storyHow efficiency gains from genetics and feed conversion are reshaping protein productionWhy beef prices are likely to remain elevated—and why politics are missing the pointThe hard reality behind renewable diesel, SAF, and global energy policyWhat happens to independent producers if nothing changesThis is a candid, data-driven conversation about power, control, and survival in modern agriculture—and why the next decade may determine whether independence remains viable at all.

STRIPPING THE GUNS FOR A SUICIDE MISSION Colleague James M. Scott. For the March 9th raid, LeMayordered bombers stripped of all guns and ammunition to carry more incendiaries and prevent friendly fire in the dark. Crews viewed this low-level entry into a heavily defended city as a suicide mission, with predictions of 70% casualties. LeMay bypassed his superiors, not informing Washington or Brigadier General Norstad until the planes were nearly launching. The target was Asakusa, a dense residential district home to 135,000 people per square mile. The objective was to create a self-sustaining firestorm that would act as its own weather system.

Prince Andrew being stripped of the Order of the Garter marked one of the most severe and humiliating blows the Royal Family has dealt him yet. The Order of the Garter is not just any accolade. It is the oldest and most prestigious chivalric order in the United Kingdom, reserved for monarchs, prime ministers, and figures of national significance. Losing it wasn't simply a matter of public relations. It was the Royal Family publicly acknowledging that Andrew's entanglement with Jeffrey Epstein was no longer something they could distance themselves from with polite statements or vague platitudes. This was a symbolic execution: the monarchy cutting away a limb that had become too infected, too toxic, too indefensible to keep attached.The decision also made it abundantly clear that Andrew's days of skating by on privilege were over. For decades, he lived as though the rules applied only to the peasants, never to him. But once the Epstein revelations reached a boiling point and the public recoil became impossible to ignore, even the Palace had to abandon the fantasy that Andrew could be rehabilitated through a carefully staged interview or a temporary retreat from public life. Stripping him of the Garter was the monarchy admitting, without saying it out loud, that he is a liability. A fallen prince, tarnished beyond repair, and a cautionary tale of what happens when scandal finally outweighs lineage.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:King Charles strips Prince Andrew of his final royal titles amid scandal | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

One of the biggest hurdles to native plant gardening is sourcing native plants. Whereas nurseries are starting to fill the demand, it is nevertheless difficult to keep up with demand. Sourcing seed from the wild is a major part of this process, but how do we do it ethically? Stripping native plant populations of their seeds isn't good for the habitats they comprise so this is where groups like the Mid-Atlantic Regional Seed Bank (MARSB) come in. Their mission is to conserve and wisely manage the Mid-Atlantic Region's wild seed resources, through scientific sampling, ethical collection, banking, and curation, and to encourage and actively contribute to the development of the Native Plant Material supply chain throughout the region. Join me and their Native Seed Collection Coordinator John Price as we discuss the process behind what it takes to achieve this mission and some of the major struggles they face.

Dallas the Dog Welcomes Skittish Sparrows. Jeremy details Dallas's affinity for birds, noting that usually skittish common garden sparrows are now drinking and eating from the dog's bowls. The destructive cockatoos, while still present and stripping pine trees, have thankfully avoided attacking the damaged roof. Crows remain cautious, staying distant to avoid aerial "dogfights" with the aggressive magpies. PURPLR FINCH
