Your corner of the Internet....

I was going to title this "A new ghetto on Wikipedia," but a ghetto by definition is a place where minority groups are segregated, generally within a city. And women are the majority in America, although you would not know it by salary...or by the fact that someone at Wikipedia is systematically stripping all the female writers from the American novelists category and creating an American Women Novelists category.

No, there isn't an American Men Novelists category.

Since I don't have a horse in this specific race, let's just say that if length is a problem, I suggest breaking the list into three segments, just as libraries used to do when they used card catalogs?

Otherwise? I want an American Men Novelists category, too. A short page, and links to Men and Women.

Just like the restrooms in elementary school.

NY Times, so look fast.

I have inherited birds....

Seriously.

I went out this am and WTF? something had crapped in the corner by my doorway -- as in on my nice doormat. The world's largest spider? Not a clue, wondering if I had something burrowing into the woodwork, I went on my merry way.

Well, I had to go out around 7 pm, and when I got back around 8:15, I suddenly had exploding birds leaping off the tiny ledge over my door. They kept diving for the ledge and then retreating. I informed them that it was MY door, and they could borrow the ledge but no going inside.

I just peeked out the window. What looks like a sparrow in one corner, and a house finch in the other. Silent. i guess they feel safe. No signs of a nest or anything.

Birded. (That's my only bird icon!)
