Ok, this oughta cheer you up after divinewind's sad story.
Today I was going to go do some stuff with the Red Cross out at a wetlands reserve called the Palo Alto Baylands. I somehow missed the email telling us that due to weather, the event was cancelled.
So, I got up early in the morning, stopped by Starbucks, and headed out there. I spent a good half hour walking around looking for people. I ran into an environmentalist group that was setting up a bird watching hike, and they suggested that I ask the Park Ranger where the event I was looking for might be.
On my walk over to the Ranger station, I heard this rustling in the bushes. I'll be damned if 2 seconds later, this massive, honking, wings flappin' GOOSE didn't come bursting out of the bush with its head down in the "I am going to open a can of whoop *** on you!" position. I thought "Oh man, you've gotta be kidding. It's too early in the morning for this."
Oh no. The goose was quite serious. This porker must have weighed 50lbs. Biggest goose I've seen in ages. And it was pissed off.
The stupid bird chased me all the way back to my car before it gave up and went away. I feel like such an idiot.
