Lucky Bastard!!

As if we are not jealous enough after him doing 2 aussie big years and now an 
American one!!

I just have to wait for an enormous lotto win, retirement and divorce and I'm 
going to do the same thing!!

'I should still be up on the year birders this year except for the Aussie 
Champion now listing in the dark. I haven't run into him but now heard of him 
twice, secretly sneaking around.  I didn’t think he could have me but he did 
get the Hawaiian [petrel].  Was in Newfy twice....I have already added to my 
budget due to him and what seems like his unlimited resources.  I planned on 
zooming through my home territory birds, saying hi to the family, and heading 
back out before I got stuck on planned trips.  I could now not let up even for 
an instant.  I may not break a record but I vow not to be out-listed by an 
Australian for the year.  I at least want to have the 2016 really big year, so 
sorry. ....I think him listing dark is a mistake as maybe rightly, I assume he 
is got everything and as such, I need to keep not only plugging but charging, 
he will be up on me in mind until he admits his list so I cannot let up for an 
instant…….yea’
