so i have no idea what kind of bird of prey i saw was.  palindrome!  my buddy said he'd been seeing a redtail hawk stoop his shit.  that's a seven minute walk.  but that weren't no redtail hawk.  white head and brown body.  google images tells me the bird exists in java and northern australia.  and most likely india because they have everything great.  so that's not it.  it couldn't have been a bald eagle.  any birders out there?

There are bald eagles in town.  It could have been an osprey.

It’s pretty hard to tell them apart.  They all kind of have brownish wings and white heads.  And then from the front when they are perched they all have like speckled bellies. Then the juveniles look different than mature birds and females and males are kinda different.

Birding is hard as hell.

i've been told that osprey's look like they're really struggling to fly, "labored flapping of wings".

This kid in the library is just staring at me. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary, just typing on my laptop. This kid has issues.

lost at bar trivia last night. the other team brought in two (two!) ringers. and we didn't now enough pop culture.

shit.

How does one bring a ringer at bar trivia?

For that matter, how does one *be* a ringer at bar trivia? Did you lose to Ken Jennings and that Austin kid?

i suck at bar trivia.  always trying to be a bit too clever

[Dan]

I go to bar trivia and the other great teams have Jeopardy champions on them. I think that counts as a ringer.

Roger Craig is famous in the Jeopardy world for having the single highest payday ever and he has been on teams against us.

the former giants manager or the niners unappreciated glory days running back?

[Dan]

Legit question. First two things that popped into my head, too.

If my math (and memory) is right, I've hit 100 posts on my Randomville return. Not quite the prodigious pace that I had before, but still pretty active, I think.

Active enough! Thanks for infusing some life into our old bones/boards.

I love bar trivia -- especially if it's music trivia. I'm terrible at Sports though.

You know, in all my years, that's the first GSPoTD I can ever remember getting.

Thanks!
