It is not easy being a curmudgeon. You have to view things with disdain, look askance at the people you see when you inadvertently find yourself in a Walmart, read all the bulletins from Curmudgeon Central that keep you up-to-date on matters requiring your attention. It can all be quite exhausting.
So I hope it doesn't come as a shock to you that kindness and caring occasionally peek out. Hence today's topic. This curmudgeon actually invested real money in a bird feeder and food. And not just ANY feeder and food, but a specially designed feeder that lets like 20 birds feed at once and not that cheap food you find in a 5-and-dime store, but specialty (and shockingly expensive) food bought at the local bird store (yes, we actually have one in my small town).
I told myself I was doing it to entertain the cats, but in truth, it was to entertain moi. So that kindness and caring thing was just a front. Curmudgeonly clever, no?
Now if only birds would show up.
