Quotes by Bob Tarte (?)

“Linda hadn't exaggerated her fear of the golden orb weaver spider. Up north at her cabin in Morley, I had once teased her by asking "Have we ever seen this kind of vireo before?" And then, instead of showing her a photo of a bird, I thrust a picture of the black-and-yellow spider at her. She shrieked. I laughed. Oh, the fun we had.”
― Bob Tarte, Fowl Weather

“It might not have been Mike,' she said, 'but somebody left something somewhere.'

I couldn't really argue with that. It was as succinct a summing up of the seeming randomness of events in life as I had ever heard.”
― Bob Tarte

“Backyard ducks that supposedly “take care of themselves” require more maintenance than the space shuttle.”

Very happy to see you here, Adriana. I've never really gotten the hang of Goodreads. I probably need to do a book giveaway or something. Or review more books. Or something, hahaha.
