Thankful

Our area is a fly over for the migrating geese, so we get to see them moving south in the winter and north toward summer. I was out in a nearby town sitting in the parking lot when V after V after V of geese flew over. There were scores of Vs with a dozen to three dozen geese in each. It was the largest flyover I've seen to date. They didn't darken the sky, but you couldn't have missed them. They were flying north, but some of them had to veer from the east around us and follow the rest. They seemed to be heading towards a nearby bird refuge. I imagine they could do a tremendous amount of damage. :)

That's kinda crazy. Apparently the readi-timer in their heads popped, so they knew it was time to fly. Just imagine what you could do if you could train those geese to be attack birds. Ha ha. Oh, you want to bully me, well "geese, attack!" They'd never see it coming.

I'm happy to report that I'm not bullied on a regular basis, at least not by any particular individuals. However, I suppose I could train them to swarm the Fed or something. I'd probably have to tone down the command, though, because I don't really want to hurt people, just make them reevaluate what they're doing. So something like, "Geese, annoy!" or "Geese, chase!" would be cool. :)

"Geese, annoy!" I like that one. I'm glad you don't get bullied. It's no fun to get bullied. It's nice when you have friends stand up for you though. It's even more fun when those friends are trained geese. :)

Well, that's not to say I've never been bullied. Plenty of that happening when I was in middle school. But, that was basically 40 years ago, and I'm not as intimidated by people as I was then. Plus, I've been working out of my home now for roughly 15 years, so the opportunities for me to run into anyone who would want to bully me is slim. The one who comes the closest is my 4'9" wife, who know one is going to believe bullies me (which isn't quite what I would call what she does, anyway).

I wouldn't mind having some trained geese if they would pick up after themselves and not destroy everythig within a two mile radius. :)
