I didn’t get any stripes on my box. 🙁
(It’s hard for me to remember everyone’s forum names and email! From now on if you put “May the Zorse be with you” in your factory orders like Susies “love, Fuzzy”, A striped thing will be sure to infect your box!)
We interrupt your regularly scheduled Windstone board programming!
Breaking Windstone News!
It has come to my attention that boxes are leaving the factory with strange striped critters on them! The origin of this striped plague has yet to be determined.. though we have experts looking into it.
If you should receive a box infected with these stripey things, do not panic. You are instructed to giggle, laugh, snicker, have a cookie, and otherwise have a great day.
Now, back to your regular programming.
I would say the secret keeper is the grown-up empress.
Let’s face it – the secret keeper is large, and in charge and much bigger than the emperor (which is usually the case in reptiles). Plus she looks like she wants to give the emperor a punch in the snot-locker if he misbehaves. The ultimate form of “yes, dear”.
…*sigh*
A month and a half later.
She lost her battle with cancer yesterday.
She was one of those people who had a profound influence on my life for the better. I never got to say thank you.

Hmmm…. Yes. Ego does tend to be a problem with griffins.

…you now have my full, and undivided attention. Raptors and strigiformes are a passion of mine. I am a bird nerd like no one’s business. I have a lifelist I keep – I’m already past 600 on it.
To fix a griffin, you sneak up on him while he is sleeping, lift his tail carefully, take your gelding knife and…

Whoops. Wrong griffin. You meant a griffin *statue*.
(Pardon my dark humor. I was thinking that since I saw the title of this post)

The tree will remain right where it is. There would be public outcry of a monumental proportion if the city cut down the tree that houses the city’s unofficial mascots. They were just worried about the close proximity of the tree to some construction (I’ve seen the location. It isn’t that close.) but this doesn’t seem to be a problem for these two devoted birds!

It is not illegal to remove, or discourage wildlife from a place in which they may get hurt, or otherwise damaged – even protected, or endangered species. It’s uncommon, but legal in certain circumstances. In this case, it was legal to do since they were trying to keep safe any eaglets that may be hatched in the nest during the construction.

Funny you guys bring up pink. I was strolling through the factory today, and discovered a pink old warrior Melody painted with blue eyes.
I dunno if you guys heard about the eagles in my hometown. Patriot and Liberty as they are now called built a nest right next to where Highway 44 cuts across Redding, on the Sacramento River. Caltrans tried to make them nest else ware this year in an attempt to keep from disturbing any impending eaglets by putting a large cone in their nest, and providing a substitute down-river. But the determined eagles had their way – they are back in their original nest, and hopefully are incubating an egg.

People ask why I like Redding?
This is one of my many reasons. Redding is wildlife friendly. <3

Exactly why I use it. Works well for scaring off bears too.

As long as I (and not some stranger in Las Vegas) get my Poad , Tom and I will be cool. XD I thought I’d been hacked or something! @.@!! I’m still a little worried, even now. c.c; Hum.
All Hail Tom!
Irritator of Melody, and Briber and Appeaser of Dark_zorse!
He knows my weaknesses. In all thier glazed goodness.
That’s the same gryphon in both pictures. Melody will often put an eye in unfinished pieces to to see how it would look more finished… but it won’t be glued in so if she doesn’t like the eye color, she can change it.

Oh, I have some interesting little gems. Most of which won’t be pried from my cold, dead claws.
I need to find one of those signs that read “Forget the Dog. Beware of Owner”.
