When our standard single-cake suet feeder mysteriously disappeared from our backyard (the crime remains unsolved), I took a chance on this nice roofed double-cake suet feeder. The results have been good.
It took our birds (house finches, various species of woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches, cardinals) a while to figure out how to maneuver their way into the right stance for getting at the suet, probably because the roof and its overhang briefly confused them. But then it was open season. The advantage of stocking the feeder with two suet cakes seems to be in reducing the need to re-stock to roughly half as frequent a job as it was before. That is, having two rather than one suet cake doesn’t seem to attract more birds; it just means that roughly the same number of birds have more supply to work on, so it lasts longer.
The quality and workmanship are very good.
It worked.
Having recently seen the effects of 15-year-old Lasik surgery wane and moved (back) to eyeglasses, I’ve rediscovered how annoying it is to have smudges on my sense. Truth be told, I used to use a shirt-tail to wipe my glasses back in my Philistine stage. Part of being a certified Grown-up may well be carrying something decent with which to clean one’s glasses.
This product has made the past forgettable. It’s sturdily built, has space for more than one thick document (like passports), and is altogether serviceable as a new leather travel companion.
The film is clearly designed to showcase Judd’s beauty and talent. She’s not short on either, but the enterprise stretches itself a bit to make the point.
The Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pen makes a middle aground accessible: you can get near fountain-pen quality without the complications of an ink well. I’d say you can get 75% of the way to beautiful writing with this pen.I experience only two downsides. First, the ink does not flow quickly upon first writing. Sometimes substantial ‘warming up’ is required. Second, over the approximately four orders I’ve for these pens, the quality has been uneven. One of the orders, if it was in fact the legitimate item, had significant quality-control issues.
