June 25, 2009 The Day of Death

Lots of people dying today, and rumors of even more people kicking the can. All together it made for an interesting birthday. No mention in the media of the crow that died in the tree next to my window. Of the three deaths, Jacko, Farrah and the ol' crow, the ol' crow was by far the bigger event in the workplace today. Several important people wanted to look out my window to check on the crow, and so did just about everyone else. Debates on what to do, and how to get to it, since it was some 30 feet up in the tree. Conversations on whether or not it was even dead, it lingered far longer that the first reports if its demise. PAWS was called, the health department was called and not to mention the internal workplace departments all to gather information on what to do. After couple hours, the crow arched it's head toward the sky opened its bill and fell over backwards, coming to rest in a branch some ten or fifteen feet down, to move never more.

Hey did I mention is was my birthday?
