Magpie...

It was brought to my attention that I never really explained Magpie. And so without further adieu, Magpie bullets.

• She lives here during the week
• She has a house in Bellingham, but works here
• Old crow owns this house. She lives upstairs we rent out the downstairs.
• One of those houses that have a half-staircase going up, and half-staircase gong down from the front door.
• Magpie lives up there with Old Crow, she rents a room.
• Magpie is a hard, loud woman
• I saw her in Fred Meyer the other day... we completely ignored each other.
• Both OC and Magpie are long divorced, and their distain for things male (or just me) is evident.
• Magpie has a habit of heel-toe stomping about the house that drives me to distraction.
• It sounds like she is goose-stepping… with jackboots on
• Perhaps it's because old crow is deaf as a doorknob, but Magpie does not possess an 'indoor' voice.
• Every syllable shoots from her mouth like she is cheering at a football game
• I’m sure she is the nicest lady… just not to me.
• It is funny (for a short while) to listen to them watch something funny on TV
• OC: hee hee hee hee
• Magpie: HAA HAA HAA HAA
