Ortolan

One of the things I like about being pals with Dave is that he never ceases to amaze me with the pieces of oddly obscure information he manages to weave into everyday conversations and emails, as if he were simply discussing the weather or trying to decide what to have for dinner tomorrow night.

At times I am baffled as I desperately scramble to distinguish satire from reality, but I must admit I often find myself genuinely enlightened and enriched by said tidbits.

Today's reference to the endangered ortolan of France was one such time.

Thank you, Dave, thank you.
