Friday again and a few

EIRD THINGS 
In our town there is an older man who sits by the road at a busy intersection he pushes an old shopping cart and he has American flags all over it, and I think he is a Trump guy althou I have never seen a Trump flag on his cart...but he sometimes has a dog with him...the poor old dog can barely walk.  He has a home he is not homeless but he spends his day acting as if he is.  If you pass his home he has banners on the fence that say things like "stop paying taxes".  WE All wish we could eh?

He writes in these spiral notebooks everything that people say to him.  So if you go up to speak to him he will begin to interview you, who are you, where are you from , where do you live, who is your daddy,,,you will learn nothing about him.  He writes it all down in a "beautiful mind" fashion in his notebook and he has been doing this for years...HE used to drive.  He had an old station wagon and it was entirely full of junk, there was only one spot clear for him to sit in the seat, and the dashboard was so filled he could barely see out...gotta wonder why cops didn't stop that?  But now he walks so I guess they did.

Is his life better out doing what he does or should he be in a nursing home?  I think he is better off out doing what he is doing.  People die in nursing homes and hospitals, people die on the street, what's the difference?  I have no clue how old he is maybe in his late 70's mid 80's? I closed my shop in town in 2001 and I knew him then when he drove his car, so he has been living this weird lifestyle for at least 20  yrs that I am aware of so actually longer Im sure it took a long time to completely fill that station wagon with junque.  

There's others, eccentric weird people in town...ones you get to know of just from seeing them.  I realized Google Maps is following me all over the damn place, today they sent me a January wrap up showing me where I have been every single day last month.  OMG see the problem is I want ebird to follow when Im birding, but not Google,  And here I thought I was invisible.  So if you have a phone in your pocket Google is watching every move you make. SO seems to me the Feds should have no trouble finding the rioters from the Capitol., just ask Google to find the tracks that led there that day and backtrack...seems I mostly make loops.  EVEN when Im out of the phone's service area they still are able to track me!! 

So I have to figure out how to undo that. Rain day so Im home all day today.  Did some birding yesterday at a place where a lot of bank fishing happens, TRASHY horrible, I spend more time picking up discarded fishing line than I do birding...I hate that about me, cleaning up behind assholes!!
