Hawks
So, I live in a city
which, due to some vigorous construction and perhaps its garbage and
recycling practices, has a bit of a rat problem. So, yesterday I'm
walking home and on my street, not from the house I live in, but
close enough, a small, not baby, a toddler maybe, not full-sized, but
all the same, a small rat comes out of a driveway and is crossing the
street and almost makes it to the other side, when a hawk swoops
down, grabs the rat and flies away with it. “Hell, yeah” I
shouted. A woman who had just parked her car, and saw the action from
the reverse angle gets out of the car and says to me “did you see
that?” “Hell, yeah. Totally badass” I reply. A man who had just
pulled into his driveway and was walking to his front door and had
his back turned to the action is befuddled, wondering why the two of
us are so excited.
Anyway here's to hawks,
keep up the good work.
