Birdie

Hi. Again. Yesterday I was at my Grandma's house when I heard a rustling sound in her chimney. I kept saying; "I think there's something in your chimney" and she kept saying; "It's just the wind" So eventually she got a flashlight and looked in the chimney. There was a bird in it! So we called my mom and had her come and get it out. When she got the bird out it flew around and hit the glass door and the window before my mom picked it up and put it outside. In the seldom used fireplace there were two bird skeletons, one without a head. The two skeletons are now in a box in my house. I put some lavender in to keep them from stinking. For the more detailed accout of this event, go to my mom's blog at www.annblair.blogspot.com

Ring of Fire

Today I went to a rodeo in Lincoln, MT. It smelled really bad, but the events were fun to watch. The last event was called the Ring of Fire. The got a bunch of people to volunteer and then had them stand in a circle of about 10' by 10'. They told them to stay in circle. Whoever stayed in the circle the longest got a bunch of money. After giving directions and getting out of the way, they let an angry bull loose in the arena. The bull charged at the volunteers and they got out of the way, some stepping out of the circle. The bull got one guy down on the ground and started rolling him around. The guy was okay, luckily. The winner got a hundred dollars or something. The whole event lasted about 4 seconds.
