On the top shelf - Osprey in charge You can't be any more on the top than this Osprey was on the river in Connecticut. He was way up on top of the sign while watching the water for any passing fish.

WE WERE NEVER A CURRIER AND IVES COUPLE – GARRY ARMSTRONG
The title comes from an episode of "The West Wing" which we are binging again in this early spring of discontent and dismay.

Hand over mouth responding, “We can’t hear you. You’re breaking up. We’re headed to the story. No landlines. Sorry, can’t hear you”.
