Being a Possum is Hard Work!
After all the possum threads today, I feel the need to contribute to the lounge's new trend.

Denver Weather: Strong Cold Front To Bring Severe Storms, Mountain Snow
DENVER (CBS4) Get ready for a pretty wild weather ride just in time for the first full weekend of summer. The new season will officially arrive at 9:54 a.m. on Friday but it will feel more like early spring or late fall!
Over the next 36 hours a strong summer cold front will move into the state bringing unusually cold temperatures over the next few days. Ahead of the front it will be windy and very warm which will drive up the fire danger on Colorados western slope today.

I may have to go with a reliant of robins because:
You Birders Are Indecisive! What's the Collective Noun for Robins?
There are so many robins around at the moment, gracing our gardens, parks and woodlands with their songs and territorial squabbles and bright bursts of cheery redness, that I couldnt help but wonder what collective noun is used for the robin. So, I googled, and found two different lists, though both had many of the same words. The British Bird Lovers website says their list was chosen by members of their Facebook page, though Im not sure when that occurred, and the Bird Guides website reports on a poll conducted by BTO and the Sunday Express in 2011, where members of the public gave their suggestions.
This is the combined list, accompanied, of course, by lots of photos of cute robins because you can never have too many robins! Which name is your favourite?
a round of robins
a breast of robins
a blush of robins
a bobbin of robins
a carol of robins
a gift of robins
a reliant of robins
a riot of robins
a rouge of robins
a ruby of robins
a rabble of robins
a red of robbins
a squabble of robins
a rash of robins
a hood of robins

Let's Just Have a Pet Peeve Thread
My pet peeve: people walking their dog with one of those retractable leashes that are only meant for training purposes. Dude, you aren't supposed to let your dog run around on a 30' leash!
