On my way home from work today, I witnessed some more public displays of animosity.  There was a high school boy being loudly berated by his mother as they were walking at a rather fast pace; very cute, as the guy was clearly bigger than his mom, but she was in control.

Some guy who killed his wife decided to hide out in the park near my house and take his life.  I don't think there are any turkey vultures around here as there are around the Mississippi River, but I wonder with his corpse lying there in the park, how long it would be before one of them would take a tear from the body.

Karen has supplied a little trough for the bunnies in our neighborhood for feeding.  They now come in the morning and evening, sometimes staying to lay on our grass in the evening.  I noticed today that a few mourning doves are starting to hang out by the trough to eat some seed.  The squirrels do not seem to be very interested in the place; perhaps because it is too easy to eat from; they seem to like a challenge by eating out of our bird feeders. 

iPod shuffle selections of note today: Effervescing Elephant by Syd Barrett, Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan, Handbags and Gladrags by Rod Stewart, All the People that Died by Jim Carroll Band.
