1. Wonder what 72 Million DEMs could do if we worked together + or - whoever steps up with us

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_registered_Democrats_are_there_in_the_US


An estimated 201.5 million U.S. citizens age 18 or over will be
eligible to vote Nov. 2, although many are not now registered.
Of these:

About 55 million are registered Republicans.

About 72 million registered Democrats.

About 42 million are registered as independents, under some other
minor party or with a "No Party" designation.'

2. I saw the storni in Florence where they flock to Santa Maria Novella Church piazza and do an

aerial ballet that made me stop and stare. It was quite beautiful. They like that piazza because it is the warmest spot in the city and storni seek warmth.

3. Wow...

5 million starlings, and the peregrine falcon could not catch ONE for dinner...

Impressive.
