Good Morning Happy Friday. If the weekend ahead is a no work only rest up and re-energize yourself good for you if you have a working weekend well have fun as best you can.
My weekend is well I am not real sure yet. I will play if by ear. Not entirely keen on the concept of allowing my ear to play or plan my weekend however I hear (see the ear must be good for something it’s hearing things) that many plan their weekend just like that.
Ever even slightly wonder about which animals in our world are extinct? I have at times and perhaps everyone goes right to the most Obvious one like the Worchester’s Buttonquail, ah yes that fabled bird. .. No I am not an Idiot I never truly heard of that damned bird either until this morning. This is what I read.
A rare quail from the Philippines was photographed for the first time before being sold as food at a poultry market, experts say. I imagine it tastes like New Caledonia wood rail or Mauritius night-heron you know there are way to many Mauritius named birds. However I am missing my point. Oh yeah the Bird from the Philippines, now I remember. Apparently this perhaps now extinct bird is found only on the island of Luzon, It is called the Worchester’s buttonquail and was known solely through drawings based on dated museum specimens collected several decades ago.
Scientists had suspected the species—listed as "data deficient" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's 2008 Red List—was extinct.
(See related bird photo: "Rare 'Smiling' Bird Photographed in Colombia.")
A TV crew documented the live bird in the market before it was sold in January, according to the Agence France-Press news agency.
Michael Lu, president of the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines, told AFP the bird's demise should inspire a "local consciousness" about the region's threatened wildlife.
"What if this was the last of its species?" Lu said.
However, the buttonquail is from a "notoriously cryptic and unobtrusive family of birds," according to the nonprofit Birdlife International, so the species may survive undetected in other regions. Ok here is my thought process, dude put down the camera and go buy the damned bird before it turns into a Philippine Panini or what ever that grilled sandwich is called. Sounds like Mr. Michael Lu may have bought the bird and ate it himself.
Tastes like Bald Eagle. Just kidding, I have had it and it is not what it’s cracked up to be.
Point being, now I remember the point it’s like that show America’s Funniest Videos, most of those are truly put on and the ones that are absolutely real shame of those dumb butts for filming when they should have been America’s next hero! I often wonder what other countries that watch this must think…my gosh those Americans are dumb asses. I mean except for Japan not many countries display their tards as we do, right out in front of everyone plastered on the boob-tube. So whether or not Mr. Buttonquail is extinct now or ever was. If you see something that is not right, help out don’t capture that moment on Kodak. I wonder how many people can say or would say they could have stopped a certain animal, artifact or catastrophic event from happening. However I bet some have film of it.
Have a safe and fun weekend.
Once again if you are resting up, have fun doing so.
If you are healing up good luck with that and if you are just out to rise hell, then do so and perhaps it will melt this damned snow in Michigan.
I am tired of being cold!
A huge hug and many pats
