Da BoidsI work in that area of Tumwater where the infamous red wing blackbirds dive bomb human pedestrians and peck at their craniums. Last year one of these birds left a nice welt on the top of my head, as they seem to go for those of us who are a bit thin in the hair department.

Anyway, today I saw a big black bird perched on a tree that has been previously known as a launching pad for the red wing blackbird. My heart froze in terror. But then the bird made a noise and revealed itself to be a harmless crow.

So, as you can see, there was no caws for alarm.

We're all crows. And that

We're all crows. And that red-winged blackbird was merely trying to remind you that you've yet to take even one step towards your crown chakra. Stop staring at the moon and get to pondering Saturn, man!

"I have never known birds

"I have never known birds of different species to flock together. The very concept is unimaginable. Why, if that happened, we wouldn't stand a chance! How could we possibly hope to fight them?"
