Munigeo: Robin Egg Update

IT LIVES!
After five days of warming the found robin egg (aka Eggy, aka, Egg Bedley Jr.) on the low setting of a heating pad it was time to see if there was anything alive inside. Using a flashlight, the Munigeo staff were shocked to see a mass inside, moving in a strange rhythmic beat. Upon further study it was found this rhythm translated in morse code to "TURN THE FREAKING LIGHT OFF! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!".

Quite shocked, the Munigeo staff realized they would have to bring in some pros to insure Eggy had every opportunity possible to survive. After numerous calls by the staff graphic designer, a veterinarian was located that had ties to wildlife rehabilitation experts.

THE TRANSPORTER
The next step was to insure Eggy was safely transported to the vet. To make sure Eggy was kept warm and protected, Munigeo turned to a designer with countless years of experience in keeping his eggs warm...theevildrsin.

A few minutes later, the Roaming Egg Incubator* (TM), or REI, was ready for action, able to keep a patient warm for up to ten hours without maintenance.

The REI was a success! Eggy was safely transported to the vet and kept warm until he could be examined. The vet agreed with Munigeo's findings - Eggy was a viable embryo.

EGG BEDLEY JR FINDS A HOME
The vet found a wildlife rehab expert with a robin nest and eggs. Eggy now has a new home! Stay tuned for further updates as Eggy hatches.

As always, Munigeo roams a block radius to bring you the latest wildlife photos and adventure within a block radius.

I found an Easter egg!

In an incident of profuse irony, I found a real egg in the yard while mowing, one day after Easter. An unbroken, blue robin's egg. There are numerous reasons to believe this egg won't hatch. It may be unfertilized. Already cooled off in the night air. Killed or deformed in the fall.

Yet still it sits on an electric blanket in a basket in the hopes that something will hatch. Even if it hatches life is not guaranteed. It would be a herculean task to feed it the right amount of food as frequently as required. Plus I'm not good at regurgitating worms. They get stuck in my teeth...

Life is hard. Not for you and me who have food, clothing, shelter. Our complaints are mostly about the gravy. We feel sorry for ourselves while other animals never do. They just live, struggle, starve, kill, and die.

There is probably no Easter miracle for this egg but I can still do what I can and hope.

April Update

Gear: For a little over a week the Teva Zilch Sandals have been working well protecting the ground from my feet. Though considered a minimalist sandal the sole is still leagues more substantial than my Soft Star Moc3's. The sandals may get better as the soles wear down a little.

Swimming: With my flowing locks shorn I've decided to play around with not using a swim cap...one less item of gear for swimming. The water feels nice on my scalp but apparently I have ears Dumbo would envy and they have more drag than a RuPaul reality show. Also it seems that I've chosen the coldest week in spring for my tonsorial endeavor and now I'm cold!

Reading: Just started reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Unsurprisingly, I am already enjoying it. For some reason while I was reading the first 15 pages I started rethinking a design project from school and came up with 3 versions that might have been better. I'm hoping that this book continues to inspire me. Right now it says to me passion and personal vision over security and compromise.
