I fell in love with the Nepali people. Wish that we had wrangled some sort of job there. <br /><br />I was reminded a bit of that when I saw this<a href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid30183074001?bctid=53449010001" rel="nofollow">video about the Ghurkhas</a> fighting in Afghanistan. (Sorry about the ad that precedes the video.) <br /><br />I recently came across my "tourist" Ghurkha knife. It's got good heft. Leaving Nepal on our flight was an idiot who had his Ghurkha knife in his carry-on bag.

One of the resident red tail hawks just bagged a house sparrow off the feeder with one claw and took it to the maple and started feeding on it. By the time I got a camera out it was gone. One less house sparrow is always good thing. We have a bunch of hawks in the neighborhood, and I've seen plenty of feathers below the feeder but never seen a live kill.
