don't understand why people find birds chirping relaxing...

Depends on the bird. And the number of birds. In fact, if bird-induced relaxation is denoted by R and is a function of a set of variables, x = [N,t,y] where N is the number of birds, t is the species of bird, and y are all the unknown variables I have not thought of yet, I would certainly expect that R = f(N,t,y) and that I certainty want to avoid the case where the first derivative goes to zero and the second derivative is negative. That would be super-bad.


I clearly need to get back to work.

I have *really* good hearing. I would be a great night watchman. I think this is part of my problem with birds. I also dislike dogs for this reason, although I hear huskies don't bark much. I wouldn't have cats either if not for Wendy.
