Canada Goose: a species of wild waterfowl. Canadian goose: a goose that goes "honk, eh." ;)

Canada Geese have no instinct to migrate. They follow their parents the first time and learn the behavior. If they live where there's at least a little open water most of the winter and are fed by clueless humans who don't know any better, they tend to stick around rather than fly south. Their offspring will have neither instinct nor role models, and will be doomed to waste their lives fouling peoples' lawns. Annoying as they are, they are still protected by Federal law and the Migratory Bird Treaty from being harassed or killed outside of legal hunting seasons. They're a problem with which we have still not come to terms.

Hi Lanny - nice concise summary above - thanks.

But I was curious about how one might cook a Canada goose (seems to be the proper name) and found the video below on removing and cooking the breast - looks delicious and would go nicely w/ a red wine - BUT, getting to that meat seems like an effort if brought home from a hunting trip - :) Dave

I play music for a living and have done so most of my life.

The Music Museum in S.Dak has more than American music instruments. Their collection rivals the great music museums in Europe and there are plenty of European, African and Asian instruments as well. My first instrument is saxophone and there is an entire collection made by the Belgian inventor, Adolph Sax.

There are also audio gizmos that let you hear many of the actual instruments being played through the earbuds. Not just the same kind of instrument, but the one you are looking at.

It's outstanding and a must see if you get near.

Rocket from Cape Kennedy. I forgot what date this was taken, but it was one of the later Shuttle launches.

Hi Andrew - thanks for the comment - her ancestry was German and she was a great cook - still remember her Chicken & Dumplings and her Pumpkin Pies on Thanksgiving - made from scratch! YES - I use to help - had to clean out a real pumpkin and her crust was made from like being in the pioneer days; of course, only fresh whipped cream - have not thought about those pies in years - :(

My paternal grandmother was 100% Irish (her father was an immigrant born in Ireland and her mother was the daughter of immigrant Irish parents) - she was born on Beaver Island in upper Lake Michigan in the late 1880s (BOY - that's another thread) - she took care of us in Toledo, Ohio (on Lake Erie) in the 1950s and was great - loved 'highballs' (i.e. whiskey w/ soda & ice) - below a pic from the mid-1960s - I was an undergrad @ the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and home for a visit - we (i.e. me & my two brothers who owned motorcycles at the time) hoisted her onto a bike and w/ her cane, she was ready to go! LOL! She was probably nearing 80 years then - BOY, miss those two grannies - Dave :)

Love that picture of your gran on that motor bike. Being the same brand, it reminded me of my "sickle" in younger and somewhat wilder days:D. A BSA 650cc "Golden Flash". The police used that model and I remember being let off with a "word of caution" yet no speeding fine after telling them how good my bike was.

She certainly looks like someone who wasn't afraid to try something new. Thanks for showing her to us.
 
Many years ago when the sum total of putting out Everglades fires reached it's tipping point, and the fires were huge, the moon and the sunsets took on that very same color. The air smelled bad, the 'glades were in trouble, but the sun/moon sets/rises were spectacular.
