In summary, owling is finished! The new thing is potato chipping. People will cover their bodies with salt and vinegar, maybe some cracked pepper or salsa, while baking in the sun on a hot beach. Vulturing is better than owling. That woman doesn't remind me of an owl.

Nope. My browser isn't showing any pictures other than the guy sitting on that poor woman's head. But at least it's good to know you're seeing things right, because having read about your experiences, get a little worried, lol.

Where have you been? Owling is so last week. I'm into 'sitting' now. That's where you bend your body at the hips and knees and rest your butt on something sturdy. Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.
