Greetings friends - Here's to a stellar start of the week! How was your weekend? All chill around my part of the world. Well, it wasn't chill per se (as in the summer temps) but was quality and happy. Collected soooo much fun and coolness to present today. Hoping you enjoy as I enjoyed collecting! BEGINNING WITH: TRUE FACTS ABOUT PIGEONS' LESSER KNOWN SUPERPOWERS I love this read/watch/listen. I have always thought pigeons were pretty in their own way.  But superpowers? Turns out they do! It also reminds me of a job a while back when working on a giant-production Texas Lottery commercial in downtown Dallas. While camera and others were setting up for a big scene with hundreds of extras, scripted to run down the street in unison, in wild excitement -- I stood on the sidewalk visiting with Art Director, Bruce Curtis, who I consider a cool, zany, exceptionally talented friend. Pigeons were all around and I had some trail mix from Craft Service that I tossed to the birds as we chatted.  They flew down and eagerly pecked up my trail mix offering.  They happily pecked and ate away. Bruce laughed, "You know pigeons are just rats with wings, right, Cheryl?" "And? " I smiled. Bruce suddenly excused himself and quickly walked away -- he had an improv, light bulb moment. He approached one of his department people and dispatched her to a local store. A short while later, just before camera was ready to roll, the art department assistant (via Bruce's instructions) began tossing birdseed by the handfuls on the big downtown street and a hundred or more pigeons came flying in, landed and pecked at the seeds on the street. "ROLL CAMERA!" "ACTION!"  the 1st AD yelled out on a bullhorn.
