Ridgeway’s favorite “specimen” was a western kingbird he had christened “Chippy.” He had bought it from a Paiute who had robbed a nest and had nursed it along on grasshopper minces until it could feed itself.
It had learned its name, and it followed the men like a puppy, teasing for locusts, of which it never grew tired. Its favorite perch was a guy rope of a tent, but during the midday heat it would retire beneath the umbrella which shaded the wet- and dry-bulb thermometers—provided that someone else had stayed in camp.
The bird hated solitude; it refused to stay behind whenever the men went out on trips, and it often rode on Ridgeway’s shoulder or on the barrel of his gun. It remained the mascot of the corps until it disappeared one day, presumably the breakfast of a hawk.

Two-year plan for culture inaugurated in Merced.
Focus on music varieties from different countries around the globe.
While not exactly "new" on The Flames, in light of recent threads I feel it only right to go ahead with this "plan."
I have discussed it with no one. I have sought no advice. I devised "the plan" to please the boss.
You're the boss.

I can't find that ragtime version anywhere. This will have to do.

Who needs words when you know the story already?
It's good to have a Plan B, even an ad hoc one.

"Ducks on the pond"
Runners on second or third base, but especially when the bases are loaded.
"His batting average is .350 when there are ducks on the pond."
My favorite:
"Can of corn"
A high, easy-to-catch, fly ball hit to the outfield. The phrase is said to have originated in the nineteenth-century and relates to an old-time grocer's method of getting canned goods down from a high shelf. Using a stick with a hook on the end, a grocer could tip a can so that it would fall for an easy catch into his apron.
One theory for use of corn as the canned good in the phrase is that a can of corn was considered the easiest "catch" as corn was the best selling vegetable in the store and so was heavily stocked on the lowest shelves. Another theory is that the corn refers to the practice in the very early days of baseball of calling the outfield the "corn field," especially in early amateur baseball where the outfield may have been a farm field.
Frequently used by Chicago White Sox broadcaster Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson. Bob Prince, Pittsburgh Pirates' announcer, used a variation, 'A #8 CAN OF GOLDEN BANTAM'. Also, a phrase used to refer to something that is not challenging. Informally, can of corn may be used as a phrase to describe mild excitement, personal acknowledgement or recognition of significance.
"Delectable Pinnacle is a can of corn when there are ducks in the river."
