If you really want to be my friend
Let me live it up like I used to do
If you really want to understand me
There's some giving up we got to do
I know, everybody wants to be your man (be your man)
I don't want to tie you up (tie you up) go ahead, you're free
And I never want to scar you with my brand (with my brand)
We could live it up (live it up) just you and me
If you really want to understand a man (understand)
Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free (set him free)
If you really, really want to be my friend
Give me the look of love, not jealousy
I know you think that life is a thriller (a thriller)
You play the vamp, I play the killer (killer)
Now baby, what's the use of fighting?
By the last reel we'll be crying, crying, crying
If you really want to be my man
Get your nails out of my back, stop using me
You know I really, really want to be your friend
But just a little faith is all we need
I don't want no dog-eat-dog world for you and me
Get your nails out, stop bleeding me
You know, people tell me you are a vulture (a vulture)
Say you're a sore in a cancer culture
Ay, but you got a little charm around you
I'll be there when they finally hound you
Hound you, hound you (hound you)
If you really want to be my friend
And I really want to understand you, baby
If you really want to be my friend
If you really want to understand me
I really want to be your man
I want to try to give you a helping hand
I really want to be your friend
I want to push you when you're up
And pull you when you're down
If you really want you to understand me
I'll tell you something, that love can't thrive on jealousy
I really want to understand you
I really want to be your man
'Cause understanding is something everybody needs, oh, yeah
I really want to be your friend
And I love you, love you, yes, I do

That's a snowy owl, pop. But they do, in fact, rely heavily on voles. In fact, in arctic biology 40-some years ago at UAF, we learned that snowy owls would regulate the number of eggs they lay based on vole population in a given area.

The voles, while a pain in my ass where potato and carrot growing are concerned, are literally a primary linchpin in the food chain up here for an amazing number of critters, little, big, and in between.

I saw one of the little grayish buggers running between my spruce pole raised beds in the primary veggie garden the other day, and I swear he was as big around as he was long. Maybe a trophy. :)

If you get a couple hundred of the little buggers, maybe a thousand, even, you might be able to make a nice quilt... Though tanning them would be a pain.

Out in the spud field we frequently come across little caverns carved into the dirt under the hilled rows, and they're typically lined with pieces about 2" to 4" long of dandelion roots, and MY baby potatoes!! Winter dens for the little thieving bastards!

Got the heating oil transferred, and the trailer prepped for the town trip tomorrow, then harvested the remainder of the German Butterball spuds, and my back and legs held up!!
