Well done Allen!
A while back there was a very cute photo of a family of Blue Jays going around.
Only trouble was, the kids were exactly the same colour as the adults, but a
lot smaller! In fact of course, kids are a different colour but the same size!
So welcome to our new world! Just as technological advances bring us to the
point where it is now vastly easier to see what a bird really looked like,
unfiltered by our personal prejudices, we now have to face the fact that we can
no longer trust anything someone shows us! It's like a metaphor for the whole
Internet. Just as it opened up unprecedented channels of communication and
information, it abruptly filled up with nonsense!
Oh well...
Cheers, Chris.
