damn, this new summer beat is killing it

So -- we supped last night with our daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren alfresco in the back yard of their nearly rural homestead about 1/2 hour by car from our (also nearly rural) house.
While listening to indigo buntings call (their call is in the form of paired notes, and is pretty unmistakable) I felt the urge to create a meme.
Today - a much more summery day - I have prosecuted* that urge.

I should point out that the greyish feather in the second panel is indeed an indigo bunting feather. Indigo buntings, you see -- as well as other so-called "blue" birds -- are not actually blue colored. They just look that way.

Bluebirds aren't really blue. They just look that way to us.

Bluebirds and blue jays don't have blue pigment in their feathers. It's the way light refracts off their feathers that make them appear blue to us.

But that's another story for another meme, I suppose.

They hate to see potential energy go to waste! I somehow feel sorry for the kitty. His world is broken.

A couple goes to Spain for a vacation. After a full day they decide to go to a nice restaurant. As they’re seated at their table, they notice the couple next to them gets served with a platter with two of the largest meatballs they had ever seen. They called the waiter over to ask what the dish is. The waiter explains they have good taste. The meatballs are actually the bull testicles from the bull fight earlier that day. The fella says, they really look good, we’ll have the same. Oh, sorry senor but there is only one serving each day. If you come early and place your order tomorrow morning, we will hold them for you. The couple come in the next evening and are served the platter with the “meatballs”. The guy calls the waiter over and says, these are really good but they are much smaller than the “meatballs” on the platter yesterday. The waiter replies, sorry senor, but sometimes the bull wins.

I've been pondering the metaphysics of this image -- or more to the point, of the sign.
