Don ' t forget the salmon colored shorts ! <| sep |> Definitely a cormorant thing . They have less preen oil than other birds , so their feathers can get soaked rather than shedding water like a duck ' s . c r estedCormorantlifehistory ? <| sep |> Got my card , I ' ll be getting it out by Saturday . Got a Snoopy card with warm wishes bit . Does anyone know if a gift list was ever put out there . It ' s either them or Toys For Tots as I have a $ 50 budget for kids charitable Toys . I kind of feel like doing cash but since these kids are so young , I don ' t think they ' ll really like it I did $ 20 for the kid who had the speech issue , was ten , and his parents were worried no one would come to his birthday party . <| sep |> And the lesson here kids is ALWAYS KEEP A BACKUP HOOD AND PASSIVE LENS HANDY .
