Battle for the Skies: Suburban Wildlife (& etc.)
I was walking with
thespianmobile yesterday (a straightforward, lo-overhead attempt to Get Off Our Asses. So far, so good.). We noticed on the top of the tallest of three skinny, pointy trees, there was perched a crow. A smaller bird repeatedly dive-bombed said crow, who was basically ignoring it. Eventually, the crow let out a squawk, was answered by another crow, then flew off. Then, the crow & his buddy swept back into view chasing another... that's not a crow! They were chasing off a hawk! Then after the danger was gone, little bird flew back and claimed one of the three trees.
Just a weird little drama.
There's a spot on my morning commute that's a carpool-lane-violator-trap. Cops hang out by the carpool lane on the onramp & snag people trying to cheat. This morning they had different quarry. There were 4 cars pulled over & two cops writing tickets as fast as they could. Guess they're serious about that whole cell phone headset thing.
Also, Hancock is good (rottentomatoes is on crack), and Mongol is astounding!
