yamamanamaOf all the days to not bring my camera. I know September is the slowest month at the wildlife center but we still get cool things.
A kestrel was attacked by a cooper's hawk with metaphorical balls the size of casaba melons. It also let out chirps when being looked at. I think the kestrel was being fed quail balut, which is probably really amazing if you're a raptor or possibly a raccoon and pretty disgusting otherwise. Kestrels aren't the most successful animals here (in Massachusetts, I mean, not "at the wildlife center"), mostly because the smaller hawks prey on them.
Something was going on in the janitor's closet because one of the volunteers made a sign with a skull emitting green fumes, a radiation hazard symbol, a biohazard trefoil, and a dead janitor with his tongue hanging out and the letter x for eyes for emphasis. It said "ankle breaking danger ahead. Seriously. I see sunshine cuz the fumes are bad. There are holes in here… it will make you sad. Relax, don't do it, when you wanna go thru it. Relax. Don't do it. Don't go beyond this door."
There's a really cool mural on the third floor.
Otherwise, nothing exciting. Jess and I were sifting through a box of veggies and fruits, separating the mushrooms, the greens, the whole fruits (peppers, apples, bananas), and the strawberries, and the garbage. I said it would actually look pretty tasty if it was fresh.
Jess says that if the raccoons were still around, she'd just throw some in there.
Someone was smuggling 51 turtles in his pants. Jean can't imagine how, but I figure they were baby turtles and they were taped to his leg.
A bird, I want to say 'house sparrow,' had rotary nystagmus (N as in Nancy! I thought he said M as in Mancy.), which is indicative of brain problems.
And I thought that Assad would just try to survive until Rand Paul or Hillary Clinton became president.
Burning question: Is it weird that the Sunni monarchy of Bahrain, which has been suppressing Shi'ite protests for the last three and a half years, is now helping the Shi'ite quasi-republic of Syria do the same to its Sunni population?
