From Nesting to Wiring

Well I am just so impressed with myself. Only a short while ago, I was building nests; now I've evolved to wiring whole buildings! Not too many jobs offer such breadth of experience.

The Brotherhood of Electrical Workers need not worry, as the wiring I'm doing (fortunately for all living beings) has nothing to do with electricity; it's simply a means of anchoring larger-than-usual ornaments, which happen to be shaped like buildings, deep within the branches of a tree. Like--tree houses. Or--birdhouses. Uh-oh, the more I think about it, the more similarities I see between human architecture and nests--it's simply just that we people tend to build our houses on the ground. And so perhaps I had best quit thinking now, before everything turns into a pineapple.
