Get off my lawn!
|
Good morning gents.
I got my usual 8 hours of sleep last night. I did my first yard mowing of the season yesterday. We had 4 to 5 inches of snow on Saturday, it was 77 degrees yesterday. (that is 25 C for you old country folks) I hit a road runner in California. That sucker was on a suicide mission. It ran right across two lanes of traffic and right into the front of my 911. It was a cloud of feathers behind the car. No damage to my car but the road runner was coyote food. One time I was driving my 914 on the curve of a interstate interchange. I was at 70 MPH and a crow flew right past my left ear and smacked into the rear window. It fell into the passenger seat and was flapping around. I grabbed it by the wing and flipped it straight up. It smacked right into the windshield of a pickup behind me. I found black feathers in my car for weeks after that.

I always wondered about the pickup driver that was behind me. He is just driving along and some crazy dude in a little sports car flips a bird onto his windshield.

Our comments were inconsiderate to something that happened with him recently... Had we been thinking we wouldn't have said all that...

shouldn't that alone raise any alarm bells? Things that mums think are a great idea : - Let's change the furniture around , that setup we tried last month, it's just not working out... - Vacuuming on sunday morning, especially when son has a hangover Things that mums, generally don't think are a great idea - guns !! shooting things (random plinking or wabbits for eatin')!! - Going to the tittie bar As such it is obvious, that any idea that any mum thinks, is great, isn't great at all. I rest my case.
