Thats crazy! I know about a huge home being built in Castle Pines that had a bedroom in the 'attic' similar to this. He was faced with the same fire egress situation until the builder suggested eliminating a closet up there. The building department figured it wasn't a bedroom without a closet and no exterior staircase was needed. Ya gotta love plans examiners!

Thats a mother in law apartment.

I can quickly rule out 3. Hard time deciding between Hillary, Obama and kanye.

The other 3 deserve it, but not nearly as much.

Between the three, you'd have to punch Hillary. Either of the other two would make it a "hate crime".

It's the newest front for the War on Women, this time its born out of the lesser of two stigmas.

The role of today's main stream media: The ignorant leading the uninformed...

Can you tell us how you caught that owl? I'm sure it was under some unique circumstance, but in my mind I see you talking to your wife at the breakfast table early in the morning over coffee and toast. Then, you stop talking in mid sentence and hold up your finger for silence. Right as your wife says, "What the hell?" with a puzzled look upon her face, you knock over your chair as you leap up from the breakfast nook and rush to the back patio. She hears you stammer, "Not today, owl" as you wrench open the door, take two running steps and launch yourself in a Superman-in-flight fashion over the deck railing. You catch the haughty Boreal Owl in mid flight as it is buzzing your property. You tuck the owl like a football, rotate in midair to land on your left shoulder and roll out your landing in a sage bush. You stand up, hold the owl triumphantly above your head for all to see and calmly remark, "no undocumented fauna on my property" just before you snapchat a picture to the game warden and Peyton Manning that pest over into the neighbor's airspace.

Ha ha! That's one possible scenario, but nope. I do wildlife rescue for CPW. I caught the Boreal by hand as it was on the ground in someone's back yard. It had been mauled by a feral cat. The owl went to the wildlife vet but didn't survive. Cats carry a bacteria in their saliva that's almost always fatal to their prey within 24 hours. Small owls really get hammered by free roaming cats, especially juvenile owls when they fledge the nest. About 60 million birds are killed each year in CO by feral and free roaming cats. Subject for another thread, but....

Here's another one rescued from a cat last summer, an adult Northern Saw-whet Owl. Fortunately, the cat owner intervened before the owl was hurt so I released it on our farm.





And, since this is a Funny pics thread, here's a nestling Saw-whet that I banded on our farm a while back.
