"Good afternoon, and welcome to Canadian Football Report, I'm Hup Twothree, and we're here in Redblacks Lounge at TD Place Stadium in Landsdowne Park, home of the CFL Ottawa Redblacks, to speak with Redblacks' rookie running sensation Halfbark Clancy (Padded-Pants) Donnelly, who carries his team into Toronto this Sunday to take on the Calgary Stampeders in the 104th Grey Cup game. How are you feeling, Halfbark?"
Rough.
"Rough, indeed. Now Halfbark, you are unquestionably the swiftest and most agile running back the CFL has ever seen, but though you amassed 17,284 yards and 439 touchdowns in this, your first year as a pro, you also fumbled 221 times. How do you account for this?"
Ever try running with a football in your mouth?
"Once, after an interview gone horribly wrong."
Besides, I recovered every fumble.
"So you did. I, on the other hand, have yet to recover. Tell me, all that yardage must take a toll on you physically. At only 2 feet 4 inches and 54 pounds, do you worry about injury?"
No. I've never been tackled.
"Halfbark, fumbling is not the only controversy surrounding you. Some of your teammates have complained that you bark at them often, have questionable bathroom habits, dig dangerous holes in the practise field, crawl into bed with them in the middle of the night on road games, and steal food off their plates during team meals--even biting one who was reaching for the salt. How do you respond to these allegations?"
He was going for my burger!
"Burger, indeed. Let me ask you about opposition fans' tendencies to throw tennis balls onto the field during play to distract you. How will you handle this on Sunday?"
Coach has fitted me with a shock collar.
"Ah, Head Coach Rick Campbell, yes, who says your yapping at opponents gets you in penalty trouble. How will you--"
Shock collar.
"Shock, indeed. Halfbark, you turned four recently and have two, maybe three years left in your career. Do you feel extra pressure to win this Grey Cup in case you don't get another chance?"
No. I don't think beyond game day. Literally.
"And finally, what is the game plan this Sunday for winning Ottawa's first Grey Cup in 40 years?"
Win Ottawa's first Grey Cup in 40 years.
"Thanks for your time, Halfbark Clancy."
Sure. Now, where's that treat?

House Wren preparing its second nest.
"The house wren (Troglodytes aedon) is a very small bird of the wren family, Troglodytidae. It occurs from Canada to southernmost South America and is thus the most widely distributed native bird in the Americas. It occurs in most suburban areas in its range, and it is the single most common wren. Its taxonomy is highly complex, and some subspecies groups are often considered separate species. The name troglodytes means "hole dweller" and is a reference to the bird's tendency to disappear into crevices when hunting insects or to seek shelter.
"This bird's rich bubbly song is commonly heard during the nesting season but rarely afterwards. There is marked geographical variation in the song, though somewhat more gradual than in the bird's outward appearance that can strikingly differ, e.g., on neighboring islands in the Caribbean. Birds from the far north and south of the species' range nonetheless have songs that differ markedly.
"In North America, the house wren is thought to achieve the highest density in floodplain forests in the western great plains where it uses woodpecker holes as nesting sites. In South and Central America, it can be found in virtually any habitat and is, as indicated by its common name, often associated with humans. North American birds migrate to the southern United States and Mexico for winter. Most return to the breeding grounds in late April to May and leave for winter quarters again around September to early October. These birds forage actively in vegetation. They mainly eat insects such as butterfly larvae, beetles and bugs, also spiders and snails.
"The nesting habits do not seem to differ significantly between the northern and southern house wrens. They usually construct a large cup nest in various sorts of cavities, taking about a week to build. The nest is made from small dry sticks and is usually lined with a variety of different materials. These include feather, hair, wool, spider cocoons, strips of bark, rootlets, moss, and trash. The male wren finds dry sticks, which he adds to the nest. Once he is done, the female inspects the nest; but if she does not approve of the construction, she will throw any unwanted sticks to the ground. After this process, the female lines the nest. Nest cavities are usually a few meters above ground at most, but occasionally on cliffs as high up as 15 m (49 ft) and more at least in southern populations; they may also be natural or use man-made, bird houses.
"House wrens are feisty and pugnacious animals considering their tiny size. They are known to occasionally destroy the eggs of other birds nesting in their territory by puncturing the eggshell. Females that sang more songs to conspecifics that were simulated by playback lost fewer eggs to ovicide by other wrens. Female bird song in this species is, therefore, thought to have a function in competition and is not only displayed by males. They are also known to fill up other birds' nests within its territory with sticks to make them unusable."

This is the shaft of an old NYC fire alarm box. I read in one of the local papers that the city plans to remove all of them in order to save money. Thus another bit of old New York will vanish in the near future. What a shame.
